 * hi there,
 * the thumbnails on this page are a custom field. the page is password protected,
   but as you can see, the password protection is not working on the custom field:
   [http://kakadunativeplants.com.au/recent-projects](http://kakadunativeplants.com.au/recent-projects)
 * how can i password protect the custom field too?
 * i found this piece of code on a blog, but i don’t know where to place it within
   my page template php code (i’ve tried a few different spots, but nothing has 
   worked):
 * <?php
    if ( !post_password_required() ) { echo ‘protected stuff’; } ?>
 * thanks!
