 * i created a password post, and after you enter the password the post comes up
   fine, but if you click the comment link it asks for the password again, but after
   you enter it, it remains on that same page, asking for a password. so i and no
   one else with the password can comment on the post.

 * Are you using the default theme? If not, that theme may have broken it.

 * If the website is the one clickable from your name here… no, you are not using
   the default theme, plus your site is in a frame; and you are using 1.5.

 * Change the names of the fields back to default, specificly the password field
   in the comments area.

 * I have found some references in the forum about password protecting not working
   with frames and/or iframes…
    Why is your site in a frame? Is this some kind of
   domain redirect?

 * I am using wordpress with a theme called wpg2connections. when I try to create
   a password protected post, comments are not available. Once the post is unprotected,
   the comments work.
 * this is after I’ve added <?php comments_template(); ?> in the page.php of my 
   theme. Any suggestions?
