   I have a custom template that I want to password protect. The problem is that the template doesn't use the content() function, so I need another way of initiating the process.

   Basically, I want to require a password for the page, but I don't want the whole template to load if the password hasn't been entered.

   Any ideas?

   Thanks!

   Interesting option, but not quite what I'm looking for.

   My template makes a few database queries that I don't want initiated unless the password has been entered.

   This is exactly what I need. Hopefully there is a solution out there somewhere, I've been searching for days!

   Try something like this:
   

   <?php
     if ( !post_password_required() ) {
       get_footer();
     }
   ?>

   Replace get_footer(); with whatever you want to hide until the correct password is entered.

   Or this version:
   

   <?php
     if ( !post_password_required() ) {
       echo 'protected content';
     }
   ?>
