Procteted-Post won’t show unless wp-admin/ is visited?

  • Hi there,
    I want to use password to protect one of my posts, and I set password to it. Then I logged off and saw the post is replaced by a password input textbox. But when I entered the password and submitted it, the post didn’t show.
    I checked the cookies using firebug, and found out that a cookie named like wp-postpass_3e04c6dc7b7088d9486fe410bb44acb7(keeping the value of my password) was already stored in browser, while the post still didn’t show up.
    Then I tried several ways and found out only when the cookie named wordpress_test_cookie is created shall the post show up… And that can be done by visiting wp-admin/ (But you don’t have to login for real, that’s the odd part.)
    I wonder if the check for wordpress_test_cookie is unnecessary? User enters password, user sees the post. I think that’s the right way.
    Hope this can be fixed in the next revision, because hardly anyone one knows he/she should visit wp-admin/ to see the protected post, right?
    Thanks for your work ??

    No one has enountered the problem???

    The same thing happened to me. As it turned out, the problem was the DomainMirror Plugin I was using. I deactivated that plugin (causing a lot of problems with links (all my stylesheets became unavailable)). After I fixed the problems caused by deactivating DomainMirror, my post passwords started working.
