If a page that is password protected has children pages, all children pages will be protected with the same password. If the correct password is entered on the parent page or any of its children pages, all related pages will be viewable to the user. The plugin protects unlimited levels of grandchildren pages via the $post->ancestors. It uses first ancestor that is password protected. ### Additional Information The plugin currently works by looking for parent pages that are password protected and applying the same restrictions the the currently being viewed child page. This means that the children pages do not actually get a password added to the database. I’m trying to decide if this is the best way to proceeed or if I should take another route (such as adding / updating / removing passwords from children pages at the write or save post screen).

My children pages are coded as Visibility: Public, and it STILL protects them. I don’t have to enter a password for every single one. This is AMAZING! Why does this plugin not have more reviews?!
