  I can’t get password protect to work on FF (PC) or Chrome or Safari (Mac). Might it be my theme (Titan by The Theme Foundry)?

  The pswd protected page renders with a pswd box, but after typing the password and clicking submit, the page goes into broken-record mode …. “waiting for ….” THEN

  * FF/Safari -> blank (white) page

  * Chrome –> reports

  This webpage has a redirect loop
  The webpage at http://uwadobe.wordpress.com/wp-pass.php has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.
  Here are some suggestions:

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  OK – I just tested pswd protection on a different blog with a different theme and it worked fine. Is this simply a poorly designed theme? I thought themes available here had been vetted by WP guys.

  Grrr. Changed theme (zBench by zwwoooo) and still no joy in Chrome. RE cookies, they are at defaults (Allow local data to be set (recommended))

  However, page does now render in FF and Safari (Mac). No idea what will happen with MSIE, but this is very poor performance.
