To change “password protected page” text

Hello @rosco666

If you have a way to add some custom PHP code to the site (either a theme functions.php or a custom plugin) this can be achieved using the the_password_form filter hook.

add_filter( 'the_password_form', 'reitclubvonnordheim_custom_function_the_password_form' );
function reitclubvonnordheim_custom_function_the_password_form( $output ) {
	$output = str_replace(
		'This content is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:',
		'Dieser Inhalt ist passwortgeschützt. Um es anzuzeigen, geben Sie bitte unten Ihr Passwort ein:',
		$output
	);

	return $output;
}

(Please excuse the German text if it is incorrect, I used Google Translate)

Jonathan Bossenger thank you a lot for your answer.
I am actually scared to put hands on the php files (i am a total incompetent and i′ve build the website following online tutorials and this forum), i was hoping i was just missing some option already included in wordpress.
At the moment i am using the plugin passster instead of the wordpress included password protection and it is working good
