password protection function

  • I know you can make a post password-protected if you select that option when creating a post. The issue I am having is that I want to post via e-mail and I have to go back and change this setting each time. Which of course defeats the purpose of posting via e-mail.

    I am trying to find the function for the password protect option to see I can somehow change it to make all posts in a certain category password-protected. Does anyone know where I can find this function?

    Thanks

    I think I found the functioning, but not sure if I am entering the right code. I want all posts that appear in category 12 to automatically be password-protected. I will be posting to this category via e-mail and don’t want to have to go in each time and select this option. Below is my altered code. Is that correct?

    function post_password_required( $post = null ) {
	$post = get_post($post);

	if ( empty($post->post_password) )
		return false;
	if is_category( '12' )
		return true;

	if ( !isset($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH]) )
		return true;

	if ( stripslashes( $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] ) != $post->post_password )
		return true;

	return false;
}
