Protected Pages Timeout ??

    Hi guys,

    Is it possible that wordpress DOES NOT have a timeout on protected pages ?? I have been searching everywhere and there is no solution!!

    Most ppl are talking about a file called wp-pass.php which it does not exist anymore (at least on my version 3.5.1).

    Tried to modify the wp-login.php file with the following line:

    setcookie(‘wp-postpass_’ . COOKIEHASH, stripslashes( $_POST['post_password'] ), time() + 30, COOKIEPATH);

    And it does not work! Probably because this line is referring to Posts and I need Pages, but the wp-pagepass does not exist either!

    How is that possible? I cannot even find a plugin that can fix this issue! If someone uses a public computer, or shares a laptop, then forgets to clear the cache and cookies, the password is saved by the browser itself FOREVER!

    Solution found! Just add this code into function.php of your theme:

    add_action( 'wp', 'post_pw_sess_expire' );
    function post_pw_sess_expire() {
    if ( isset( $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] ) )
    // Setting a time of 0 in setcookie() forces the cookie to expire with the session
    setcookie('wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH, '', 0, COOKIEPATH);
}

    This will forces the cookie to expire with the session, basically when you close and reopen the page will ask for the password again 🙂

    This works great for me to, but if I want to set a time for say 30 minutes before expire, replacing 0 with + 1800 (60sec*30min) doesn’t work. Any ideas?

    I’m having the same problem as Fobstar. Anyone have an idea of what a workaround might be?
