I’ve finished updating the http-authentication plugin for WordPress 2.5.

This version of the plugin will work with WordPress 2.5.1 and above, due to a change in the wp_authenticate plugin hook.

This plugin will not work on WordPress 2.5, but if you want to test it you can download a nightly build or use Subversion WordPress 2.5.1.

You can download the plugin from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Finally, for this release, I’m starting a new post for the plugin. Refer to the previous post for support issues, and if you don’t find an answer there, please ask here. Questions asked on the old post about this version will not be answered.

Update (2008-04-25): WordPress 2.5.1 is out.

As noted elsewhere on this blog, the http-authentication plugin does not run smoothly on WordPress 2.5.

Ryan P and Ben Chun have tracked down some of the changes to WordPress core that have caused problems for the plugin.

As time permits, I’ll be updating the plugin to take into account the new login code. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee a delivery date - work is keeping me incredibly busy right now.
