From today I’ll no longer be maintaining the plugin as I’ve not used it myself in over a year. If anyone wishes to take over the plugin, feel free to email me.

Hope this helps.

reason i ask is this. i use a static page for my home page where a user must enter their password to access the posts. i use navigation (next/previous) links on my posts and the problem i am having is i need to be able to hide these navigation links except when a user is logged in using the global password.

so, my first thought was to add the following code to css:

div.navigation-top {display:none;}
body.logged-in div.navigation-top {display: block;}

but then i realized that “body.logged-in” is reserved for users that actually log in to wordpress, and i am not requiring them to do so

do you know of anyway to make this work?

thank you in advance

there is a posibility to parse the words and replace them:

function title_remove_protected_private( $title ) {
//for the english version of WP
//http://digwp.com/2010/02/remove-private-or-protected-from-post-titles/
$title = str_replace( ‘Private:’, ”, $title );
$title = str_replace( ‘Protected: ‘, ”, $title );

//for the German version of WP
//http://forum.wordpress-deutschland.org/konfiguration/42500-geschuetzt-ausblenden.html
//$title = str_replace( ‘Privat:’, ”, $title );
//$title = str_replace( ‘Geschützt: ‘, ”, $title );

return $title;
}
add_filter(‘the_title’, ‘title_remove_protected_private’);

Alex:
Currently the only way to translate the “Protected:” text is to install a language file for WordPress. You can’t currently change the “There is no excerpt because this is a protected post” text (although this might appear in a future version of my plugin) but the Better Protected Pages plugin sort of allows you to change it by using the Read More feature of WordPress. Give it a try.

Roman:
Correct, this does work with pages too. I’ll improve the description.

Thanks for the great little plug in. Consider revising it’s name & description.

This update adds full compatibility with Quick Edit, and adds a new feature that allows you to (optionally) append a global post password to your feed URL or post permalinks to automatically show the content of the posts. Passwords are specified using a pass parameter, eg. example.com/feed/?pass=mypassword.

There are two new checkboxes on the Settings -> Privacy menu for enabling this functionality.

The first option enables global post passwords to be included in the permalink URL. You have to manually append the password, the password isn’t automatically added to permalinks (obviously, as this would negate having a password). Once the permalink is visited with a password in it, you’re redirected back to the permalink URL without the password appended.

The second option enables global post passwords to be included in the feed URL. If a correct password is included, then the content of all password protected posts in the feed are shown, rather than the standard “This post is password protected” message.

If you enable both options, then permalinks in the feed _will_ automatically include the post password, so users can click through and read each post without having to manually enter the password on the blog.

http://www.example.com/something?pass=foo

??

Similarly within a feed is there any way to send the feed address along with a password

http://www.example.com/feed?pass=foo

…to open up all protected posts?

Thanks

The text in the Global Post Password plugin supports localisation but you’ll need to follow these instructions to perform the localisation.

I’d like to provide a PO file for my plugins at some point but I don’t have the time at the moment. Let me know how you get on!
