    In setting up either a new page or editing an existing one choosing password and setting the password does not work. When the url for the page is typed a Password box does appear but completing this and sending return the site home page appears instead.
    http://www.stmarksaberdeen.org.uk/test-page should demonstrate what happens.

    The last time I had an issue forum members were really helpful. I hope you can help again. I am not a techie.

    The problem here is that the Gumbo theme hasn’t been updated in a very long time, and its custom password form is pointing to a file named wp-pass.php, which hasn’t existed in WordPress since (I think) version 3.4.

    So, you could try adding this to the functions.php file to disable that custom form function:

    remove_filter( 'the_password_form', 'gumbo_custom_password_form' );

    But really, I think you’d be better off finding a theme which has been updated more recently than 18 or so months ago. 🙂

    Thank you for your very prompt response. Regrettably as I said I am not a ‘techie’ and have no idea where to find the ‘functions.php’ file but I will pass on your advice to the site hosts who probably will. Also I’m not too confident in a sudden change to a new theme. But thanks again.
