Add code to protected pages

  • Hi !

    I have a website with a personnalize theme. I created the theme with a tutorial on Internet few years ago.
    Today, I try to protected one of my page with a password. Unfortunately, I had not add code to do that when I created my theme…
    So when I check “protected with a password” during the creation of a page, it does not work.
    How can I add code to have this possibility on my theme ?

    Thanks a lot for your answer.

  • Hello zazzou,

    I did a little research, and from what I can see adding “visibility: password protected” will add the password to that page/post but the post can still be seen in Archive pages and in the homepage.
    I found this article (the part you are interested is at the bottom “Hiding Password Protected Posts Completely From Homepage and Archives”), that helps with that.
    https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-password-protect-posts-in-wordpress/

    Be aware this is random code found in the internet! Test it on a localhost or a test site that is not online!

    If this helps, please mark the Status as solved,
    Thanks
    S.

    Hi,
    I am sorry but this link does not help me…
    I find a part of the answer : I would like to protect a template page. On this template page I had code directly and not
    <?php the_content(); ?>

    So in the wordpress code there is a code where we can have “when the user protect a page, so you protect the content of the page”. Where can i see that ?

    Thanks

    So you want to do it at the theme level. Do you wish to protect only posts? or just certain Pages? or the entire site?

    Let me know
