   I have a page that I want to password protect, but it is based on a page template that pulls in all the data to be displayed outside of WordPress, not from the post content. When I password protect the post, it does nothing to protect the content. How can I tie into the WordPress system to protect that content?

   BUMP!

   i was hoping that get_the_content() would return false if the page is password protected. This way we can determine when to show a password prompt.

   I'd really like to be able to tie into the password system.

   i hear ya... I'm having the same problem... I started working on a plugin that will enable a conditional tag so that this is possible

   I know that it is possible but haven't been getting anywhere with it...

   Turns out I don't need to write a plugin that does this... The conditional function that you want to use is...

   post_password_required()

   Basically, this returns a true value if you are entered the password on the page or if the cookie is set.

   It took some digging but, this helped me out a great deal...

   Could it be something like...

   if(!empty($post->post_password) and $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password)){
    // here what to tell the visitor: it's a protected page blah
   }
   the_content(); // here we ask WP to ask for a password, content should be blank
   
   if (isset($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH])
    and $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] == $post->post_password){
     // here it's the protected stuff...
   }

   (taken from wp support forum)

   Hope it's clear or helpful...

   In case you are looking to modify the generic "This post is password protected. To view.." form, you can add a filter into the functions.php file, like so:

   <?php
   add_filter('the_password_form', 'custom_the_password_form');
   
   function custom_the_password_form() {
     $output = 'YOUR CUSTOM FORM AND TEXT HERE';
     return $output;
   }
   ?>

   You can view the original code in post-template.php on lines 1132 - 1141.
