WordPress Plugin: Global Post Password

Latest version: 1.4.2- Released July 4th, 2010
  • Add a body class of 'has-post-password' to individual posts when a user has entered the correct password.

Description

Enables you to set a global password for all your password-protected posts, and switch password protection on or off from the writing screen with just one click.

If you publish a lot of password-protected posts (or even if you don’t), you may end up using the same password for every post. With this plugin you can define a global post password from your ‘Settings-> Privacy’ menu, and switch password protection on or off from the writing screen. When you change the global password, all password-protected posts are automatically updated with the new password.

Note that this plugin does not automatically enable password-protection on every post. It allows you to use a global password for every post that you choose to password-protect.

Installation

  • Unzip the ZIP file and drop the folder straight into your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  • Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  • Visit the ‘Settings -> Privacy’ menu in WordPress and set a global post password.

Now whenever you write or edit a post (or page) you’ll be able to switch password-protection on or off with one click, instead of having to manually type in a password for each post. You can change the password whenever you like.
