1- Why ask user name and password again

The first time, the user name & password are being asked for by eMember for member login into your WordPress system. This is just a standard user login.

Every-time you go to download a static file, the server will ask for the username and password. This is how the .htaccess secure download works.

Due to the way server security works; there is no reasonable way to pass the user name & password, between the (WordPress) environment and the server environment.

2- .pdf file not download, open browser

Your browser is experiencing media disposition issues, when communicating directly with the server.
