I am trying to create a password protected forum for users on my site where they can post content and comment on the posted content. The problem is that when I set up a password protected page and then set that page as where blog posts will go, the blog posts seem to override the password protection. How can I create a password protected page that is the locus of blog posts for my site?
The plugins are not responsible for the issue. I did try changing my theme. That solved part of an earlier problem (the users can not comment on each others posts in the current theme). All help is appreciated.
