   I am writing a series on the killings of the Women of Juarez.

   I did a film review that I did not want to detract from the series so I password protected it.

   This seems to be a good and simple fix as all a reader would have to do is click the link and read the post.

   Password is read

   It works for me in FF but IE it does not work?

   I have never tried to password protect an entry before and am not aware if there are any issues regarding IE.

   There is a link (reviewing the movie)This is the problem in IE

   Re: IE password protected post (posts) fail (failure) fix

   I have googled for quite some time for the same issue.

   Finally, I found it and after tested it out, it's all fine now.

   The solution (fix):
   In your wp-pass.php file, look for

   [code]
   setcookie('wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH, $_POST['post_password'], time() + 864000, COOKIEPATH);
   [/code]

   replace with:

   [code]
   setcookie('wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH, $_POST['post_password'], time() + 864000, '/');
   [/code]

   It should be okay now. Try it in both IE and Firefox.
