    I seem to be having an issue with password protection on pages, and cannot seem to resolve the issue. I know the issue is theme specific, b/c when changing over to TwentyThirteen is works as expected. I have tried the following:

    • Deactivated all plugins
    • Uploaded fresh wp-admin and wp-include wp folders
    • Repaired database

    The password protection feature is simply not showing up, and the page is accessible.

    Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Best Regards,
    Jon

    What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

    Its a theme I created, using Underscores as a basis.

    Here is the basis theme’s URL: http://underscores.me/

    I can also try uploading an unaltered version of this basis theme, switching to it and seeing if the issue is still occurring. If it is still happening, is there a way to test if password protection is enabled properly in the theme?

    Just checked in my _s custom theme and password protection is working fine on Posts for me.

    Thanks for checking Esmi. Any ideas in regards to how I could troubleshoot?

    I figured out the issue: I am using a custom page template in which all content is being pulled in from Custom Fields, and therefore being contained within the_content();. Therefore, there was no need for this template tag, and when the page had password protection enabled, nothing happened.

    Now, its time to figure out how to password protect a custom page template full of custom fields!

    Here goes the solution:

    <?php if ( post_password_required() ) {

    echo get_the_password_form();

    } else { ?>

    ‘Password Protected Custom Content’

    <?php } ?>
