[BlueOnyx:12517] .htaccess and wordpress not working together

[Peter Robbins - Bridgewater Software]

Hi

I have a strange issue with a site I am trying to protect whilst its in 
development.

I have setup a wordpress site and the site works fine, until I put the 
.htaccess / .htpasswd amends into the directory.  When I do this the 
protected .htaccess works and the site is protected but the site no 
longer functions as the redirect is no longer working

I have tried putting the .htaccess in the site root directory,  and 
still get the redirect not working.

I have tried putting all the code in one .htaccess file in /web and 
still to no avail

The only way the wp site works is if I remove the password lines and the 
only way the protection works is by removing the redirect.

Anyone seen anything like this before?
