Change In Password Protect Loses Video

  • I use my www.remarpro.com site to serve password protected videos to my customers.
    I also use the BAW Multipass plugin so each customer can get their own password.
    An example of a page:
    https://69.195.124.89/~magictr9/double-backed-cards-routine/

    I want to change the text that appears above the password submit box.
    I want the text to read:
    “This video is password protected. Your password is automatically emailed to you when you purchase this trick. To view this video now, please enter your password below- in all lowercase letters:”

    I tried putting the following code in the functions.php file for the Clear theme I’m using:

    <?php
add_filter( 'the_password_form', 'custom_password_form' );
function custom_password_form() {
global $post;
$label = 'pwbox-'.( empty( $post->ID ) ? rand() : $post->ID );
$o = '<form class="protected-post-form" action="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-pass.php" method="post">
' . __( "This video is password protected. Your password is automatically emailed to you when you purchase this trick. To view this video now, please enter your password below- in all lowercase letters:" ) . '
<label for="' . $label . '">' . __( "Password:" ) . ' </label><input name="post_password" id="' . $label . '" type="password" size="20" /><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="' . esc_attr__( "Submit" ) . '" />
</form>
';
return $o;
}
?>

    The result is that after putting in the password, and clicking the submit button, the customer gets a “404- The Server can’t find it!” message. (I have since removed the code from functions.php because my site is live and I wanted customers to be able to access the videos).

    I copied the code from the www.remarpro.com knowledgebase, and only changed the actual message wording. Obviously, I must have missed doing something else.

    Can anyone give me the EXACT block of code I can put into the functions.php file to change the text to what I want?

    Thanks so much!

  • I think you must edit the code at this plugin folder:

    baw-multiple-pass-for-protected-pages/inc/frontend-noajax.inc.php

    and change the words:

    This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:

    Hi 10chiens,

    I checked out your magic page and it looks very close to what I need. I’m trying to put a training video on my site, and have people “Add to Cart” and purchase it like any of my other services. If they purchase this video, I want an automatic email sent to them with a password to watch the video and the location of the video (I guess it would just be a hidden page on my site). But I want everyone to get a different password that expires 1 week after purchasing. Does your site work this way? I’d really love any info about how it is set up as I’m at a total loss. I keep getting sent to these membership plugins but I’m not sure that is what I need.

    Thanks so much!

    Hi, pleasehelp123.

    I have come up with a rather convoluted method that combines the features of the BAW plugin with some features provided by my site hosting company. My method, unfortunately, is specific to the tools I have available to me. Unless you are using my hosting company, I won’t be of much specific help. ??

    The good news is- I figured this system out for myself, so there is definitely hope that you can do the same for yourself!

    My passwords never expire, so I’m not sure how you would do that.
    If you don’t have a huge volume of customers, you could go in and delete the passwords manually on the day you want them to expire. Also, you have to add each password manually, so if you are looking for a high volume system, this method is not it.

    The automated email you want is called an autoresponder. Your hosting company most likely can provide you with these. You set up an automated rule (such as when the training video product has been paid for) and then you compose a general email that has the URL to the video and the password to the video. When the rule is met, it triggers the email to be sent.

    Unless you pay for a premium service, an automated email is general- it is NOT specific to each individual. The email will be worded the same way for everyone, so it can’t actually show a unique password for each recipient. Therefore, you would have to set the password to be something unique, and that they can easily find. For example, you can say “Your password is your order number”.

    The URL for the video is a page on my WordPress.com site. Each page on my WordPress.com site contains a few lines of text, plus an embedded video. You could definitely call that video from a hidden page or folder of your site. You’d need to talk to your host company for specifics. The BAW plugin that I installed to my WordPress site is what I use to password protect that video. The BAW plugin lets people see the WordPress page, but instead of a video, it overlays a password input box. When you successfully put in a password that’s been set for that page, the video appears and plays.

    You should install the BAW plugin and play around with the settings. It is very easy and intuitive. You set one master password, and then you can add an infinite number of other passwords. Keep the master password as your secret, and assign new passwords to all new customers.

    Hopefully this gives you more information to go on.
