 * I am trying to use the post password but it is only protecting the content tag.
   None of the other content I put in the post is being blocked. Are there any tags
   I can use or anything to define the area I need protected? Basically any content
   in the post should be blocked…

 * Private doesn’t allow access to anyone, I want the password feature to work.
 * That plugin simply sets a global password, how on earth would that help?
