Hi, Just checking how this is supposed to work. I have a native WP Page that has some children pages. I’ve ticked the ‘Password Protect All Child Posts’ checkbox on that parent page and have left all the children pages as the default ‘Public’ visibility. The password box appears on the parent page, but when I click through to a link to a child page then the password box appears again on that page, and it won’t accept the password of the parent page. I can see that it has the wp-postpass_xxxxxx cookie that is set once the user has inputted the correct password. I had assumed that once a user has correctly inputted the password on the child page, it won’t then ask for the password again for each of the child pages? Tested on the latest version of WP (4.9.4) with all other plugins deactivated and on the default twentyseventeen theme. Thanks, Ben This exact same issue is happening to myself. Any idea on a solution? Thanks FWIW, I stopped using this plugin as I couldn’t get it to work. I use this instead now https://wordpress.org/plugins/global-post-password/ It hasn’t been updated for a while but the plugin author is highly regarded I think as I use a few of his other plugins. Thanks for the info and the reply. Will definatly check out your recommendation. Hi badlydrawnben and Raesgo, we are looking into this, sorry for any inconvenience. Although it looks like you’ve moved on to another plugin, we will let you know when this is updated nonetheless. The plugin has just been updated to support this functionality. Now, the password is only entered once on any of the protected pages and it unlocks all other pages (parent; children). Thanks for the suggestion!
