Hi Joe,
You just need to password protect a page like normally in WordPress and then the children pages will be protected as well. When you’re editing a page, this can be done at the top-right by changing the visibility options.

Yes, how do you implement this. You may want to add quick user directions…
thanks,
Joe

Hi Mike,
I just emailed you some code that may accomplish what you're looking to do.

I'm going to install 0.3 right now — thanks for your work on this.

I've got another question which may or may not be something I could configure your plugin to handle: I'd like to display the content of certain blog categories on protected pages. For example, on a protected page I'd have a brief introductory message and then excerpts of three blog posts in the protected category.

Obviously the content on the pages themselves is the only part that's password-protected at this point and not any blog posts I'm pulling in through the template. So right now the posts show up no matter yet while the page content itself remains protected.

Is it possible to set up blog posts to be children of protected pages so that they inherit the protection themselves? Or to set up the content rendered by the template to be treated part of the page content? Alternately, do you think I'm barking up the wrong tree and should find a different solution altogether?

Thanks again for the plugin.

0.3 was just released. It fixes all bugs mentioned above this comment.

== Changelog ==

= 0.3 =

* Fixed bug where children pages of non-protected parents had 'Protected: ' prepended to the title.

* In case where grandparent page is not protected but parent page was, child pages are now protected.

Hi!

I like the functionality of this plugin–however, in practice it seems to tag all child pages with "Protected:" in the h1 head, regardless of whether the Parent page was protected or not…

Hi!
I don't know if it's me but with something like that this plugin don't work :

Page 1 (no password)
-Page 2 (no password)
–Page 3 (password)
—Page 4 (no password)
—-Page 5 (no password)

With this configuration pages under page 3 didn't get password protection, so I modify your plugin to protect all page under a page with password and it with any location.

My code is here : http://pastebin.com/mfF4xPym

Ihave installed and used the plugin. It works fine, although, it puts the word “protected” on some header areas of pages that are not child pages. the word still shows up Even after I delete the orig pass protected pages. Any help would be appreciated.

We are having some issues, with some people stating that when they go to non protected areas they are prompted for a password. Thus we had to disable the plugin. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
