    I have a password protected Wordpress blog, requiring login through wordpress to gain access. However, if you go to the address bar and type in the directory of my zenphoto, you gain immediate access to all the pictures. as in, type http://www.mywebsite.com/pictures, and you get to see all my pictures. I can password protect the folder through my server, but then people who have logins for my blog will need another login for my server. I can password protect individual albums through zenphoto, but this requires an additional login username and password, as opposed to just allowing access since you are logged in through wordpress. I thought zenphoto integrated itself with wordpress passwords, but there is a backdoor here i can't seem to close without messing other things up. Is there some way to make zenphoto check that a person is logged into the website before allowing them access to the pictures? even if they type in the address directly? and without requiring an additional login beyond the initial login to the main wordpress webpage?

    I appreciate any guidance someone can give. Thanks.

    Zenphoto is an independent CMS that does not intregrate with authentification of anything automatically (and it is also nowhere stated it would do). Unless you code something to make it do so.

    There was once an older 3rd party single login plugin for WP and Zenphoto but that will probably not work anymore.

    By the way, even if WP did log onto Zenphoto for the user you would still have to setup your gallery so that it could be viewed only by logged in users. Clearly you have not done that.
