Where is the template file for the password protected page in wordpress?

I’m trying to edit the template page which is used when a page or post is password protected. I can’t seem to have much luck locating it.

do you know where it is?

  1. It’s my understanding that the password protected pages/posts use the same templates are regular pages/posts. If you’re looking to change the standard message “My post is password protected. Please ask me for a password:”, try adding this code snippet (changing the text to read how you want) to your theme’s function.php file:

    function fb_the_password_form() {
    global $post;

    $label = 'pwbox-'.(empty($post->ID) ? rand() : $post->ID);
    $output = '<form action="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=postpass" method="post">
    <p>' . __("My post is password protected. Please ask me for a password:") . '</p>
    <p><label for="' . $label . '">' . __("Password") . ' <input name="post_password" id="' . $label . '" type="password" size="20" /></label> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="' . esc_attr__("Submit") . '" /></p>
    </form>';

    return $output;
}
add_filter('the_password_form', 'fb_the_password_form');

    I found this over at Change Wording for Password Page by WP Engineer.

  2. In a child theme of twenty-thirteen, the above did not work. Instead, I used this code (unfortunately, I cannot remember who wrote it): 

    <?php
function my_password_form() {
    global $post;
    $label = 'pwbox-'.( empty( $post->ID ) ? rand() : $post->ID );
    $o = '<form action="' . esc_url( site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=postpass', 'login_post' ) ) . '" method="post">
    ' . __( "Some custom statement here.nAnd a second line:n" ) . '
    <label for="' . $label . '">' . __( "Password:" ) . ' </label><input name="post_password" id="' . $label . '" type="password" size="20" maxlength="20" /><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="' . esc_attr__( "Submit" ) . '" />
    </form><p style="font-size:18px;margin:0px; padding: 8px; background: lightblue; height: 40px; width: 400px; text-align: center;">Some other text here</p>
    ';
    return $o;
}
add_filter( 'the_password_form', 'my_password_form' );
?>
