    Hello, I have this problem: I created a new site, I have one page I would like to require users to have a password to access, so I created the password.

    The problem is that when I enter the password, instead of visiting the page, website sent me to wordpress sign-in page! Any suggestion?

    I tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem.
    – switching to another theme

    but there is always this problem.

    if you want, you can try to access to this test page: http://behindenemylines.altervista.org/prova password is “foto”

    I have read other users occasionally have the same problem: after entering the correct password for the protected page, they are redirected to the main WP login screen instead of the password protected page.

    Can you help me? Thanks

    Are they logged on once registered?
    If so, they might not be on the good users group, check that in users.
    Also, if you want to automatically forward users to one page, it’s not a huge deal, but requires a bit of php coding.

    I’m using this option https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Password_Protection

    Password Protected -The page will be protected with a password you choose. Only those with the password can view this page.

    I use this option in others sites, without problems, but now there is this problem, when I enter the password to view the page it does not take me to the page, but keeps me at the password entry dialogue!

    ok a rewrite rule issue probably; it depends on server (apache settings i guess).

    did you check htaccess on this folder?
