ACW Custom Messages for Password Protected Pages

Description

By default, WordPress displays a message such as “This content is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:” on password protected posts and pages.

ACW Password Protected Messages lets you replace that message with your own text or HTML. You can set a default message for all password protected content, and you can also assign a different custom message to each specific page from the plugin settings screen.

Features:

  • Change the default password protected message to any text/HTML, using the visual editor.
  • Add as many page-specific messages as you like: select a page, write its custom message, and add another one for a different page.
  • Page-specific messages override the default message.
  • Remove the “Protected:” prefix from the title, so “Protected: Page Title” shows as “Page Title”.
  • Change the “Password” input label to any custom text.
  • Dedicated settings screen under Settings Password Messages.

Can I set a different message for each page?

What happens if a page has no specific message?

The default message is shown. If no default message is set either, the standard WordPress message is displayed.
