[Plugin] Protected posts

[sam2kb]

This plugin allows you to password protect your posts, and visitors would have to enter correct password in order to view post content.
All passwords stored in cookies and visitors don't have to enter them every time.

Please note:
- it doesn't hide post comments.
- don't rely on this plugin, use other methods if possible (protected directories, require users to log in, etc).

Just a quick question on this one, but does it prevent RSS feeds going out once a password has been set?

[sam2kb]

It protects both RSS and regular blog posts

Hi Sam, I don't suppose there's any chance of a quick readme or install guide is there? This sounds just what I've been looking for rather than all the other ways of password protection which require individual users' login details.

All you need is upload the plugin in /plugins directory on your website, then in control panel navigate to Global settings > Plugins and install it.

Once installed, you will see a new field "Post password" or alike in post edit screen. Create and use the password to access the post, each post may have unique password.

That is brilliant, just what I was looking for and better than htaccess for our group's purposes. Thank you very much for the effort you've put into that.

No problem

Sam - this is working very well and is really helpful. I was wondering - would it be possible to get it to protect the comments too? At the moment the post are protected but anyone can see the comments. I was wondering if the password protector could apply to the comments URL as well.

I agree, it would be a good feature... Sorry, but I'm not planning new releases in the near future.

OK, fair enough, thanks anyway.
