 * Hi,
 * I have just started using your plugin and have purchased the PRO version.
 * It is a great plugin so far apart from a few concerns awaiting reply on the forum
   so far.
 * One other that I have is when I deactivate the plugin pages that I have settings
   in wordpress to be password protected seem to not work anymore even though in
   my settings the password protection should still be active.
 * Is there any reason as to why this would be happening ?
 * Thanks.

 * Hello.
    But if you deactivate plugin – it will not influence to your site anymore,
   am I right? Or I missing something?

 * Before I activated this plugin I had pages, including my home page that was password
   protected as it is still in the construction stage.
 * When I deactivate the plugin, even though my wordpress page settings show that
   the pages still are password protected the page is in fact visible and the whole
   site can be accessed even sub pages that are password protected also.

 * Hello.
    Are you logged-in when you see those pages? Logged-in as admin?

 * Hi Alexey,
 * Now that made me stop and second guess myself 🙂
 * I was logged out, just double checked it to make sure.
 * But that made me also think about the browsing history etc.
 * So I tried clearing the browser history in 2 of the different browsers I test
   in and after doing that the password protection was visible again.
 * Cheers.

 * Hello.
    So, it ok now? Our plugin didn’t broke this? You was just logged-in –
   and this was cause?

 * I wasn’t logged in, I logged out of the site and it was still visible.
 * But once clearing the browser history etc it went back to being password protected.
   If I don’t clear the browser history after being logged in, it stays as logged
   in.
 * But that I guess is ok, as seeing at this point I am the only one that will be
   logged into the site until it goes live.

 * Ok, I see problem is browser cache. I think you can close this ticket.
