Protected the wrong folder

I just bought and installed aMember v4.1.15 yesterday, and in playing around with it and trying to better understand protected folders, I accidentally set aMember to protect the folder directory that has my Wordpress installation in it (public_html/members). As a result, when I attempt to access the login for the WP Admin Dashboard, I get redirected away to the aMember sign-in page because of the protection settings. Likewise, it appears that images, CSS, and other page elements no longer load on the main page of the WP blog - I imagine because of the same reason.

To try and undo this gaffe, I did as recommended in the program and deleted the folder record I created, then went to Utilities -> Rebuild Db -> Rebuild Core Database. Unfortunately, this didn't help. I also tried Rebuild Wordpress Database, but to no avail. I then tried to create a folder record to temporarily allow free access to /members just to see if it made a difference and (after rebuilding the database) unfortunately there was no change. After that, as a last ditch effort, I deleted the aMember directory on the server, reinstalled it to the same location (public_html/amember), and went through setup a second time, but the same problem persists.

What can be done to fix the situation? Thank you so much for your time and help!

Thank you so much Alexander - I'm back in business! I do have a couple other semi-related questions that come to mind as I'm going about setting up aMember.

My sales flow currently has Clickbank in front of aMember. I noticed on my test purchase that the account was successfully added, but the customer was only sent a User ID and no password. My test user was able to get a password by recovering it through aMember, but that's not really a solution. Is there a way to ensure that new users get sent a User ID and a password in that initial message?

My other question has to do with something on the Clickbank plugins page. I noticed that under the installation area there are a couple links provided for the TY page and the Instant Notification URL, namely:

Code:

 4. Configure ThankYou Page URL in your ClickBank account (for each Product) to this URL:
    http://www.sitename.com/amember/payment/clickbank/thanks

5. Configure Instant Notification URL in your ClickBank account
    ( Account Settings -> My Site -> Advanced Tools -> Edit )
    to this URL: http://www.sitename.com/amember/payment/clickbank/ipn
    Set version to 2.1

I checked my site's FTP and I don't have file paths that match up to these values under my amember directory. I appear to have amember/application, amember/data, amember/library, and amember/setup. I would assume that the Instant Notification URL works because new users were successfully added to aMember when running through the test purchase, but I just want to be certain that everything looks proper.

Thank you again for your time and assistance!
