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 ??

    It works! thanks fr2632!! you save my life! ^_^

    You`re welcome ??

    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?
