WordPress page password protection is not working. Page still visible

4 Views

First time trying to use the password protected visibility option on a WordPress page, and it seems to do nothing. After adding a password, if I view the page it never asks for a password. Different browsers, clearing out all temporary files, logging out of wordpress admin, nothing makes a difference. Even logged into a remote computer that had never been to the site or admin and opened the page without any prompt for a password. Has anyone else ran into this issue? My Google skills are failing me.

  2. Seems like the theme has to support this functionality. I found out that you have to use something like this to make it work

    <?php 
    if (post_password_required()) { 
        echo get_the_password_form();
    } else {
        echo "<p>Protected content</p>";
    }
?>
