Why Is My WordPress Password Protected Page Not Working?

If you are having trouble logging in to your WordPress account, or if you are seeing “you are not authorized to view this page” messages when you try to access your password protected pages, there is a good chance that your password is protected. In this article, we will explain what password protection is, and how to enable it on your WordPress site.

First, what is password protection? Password protection is a feature of WordPress that allows you to restrict access to certain pages or posts by requiring users to enter their password before viewing the content. This can be a useful way to protect your site’s content from unauthorized access, or to prevent unauthorized users from changing or deleting content.

How to Enable Password Protection on Your WordPress Site

To enable password protection on your WordPress site, first make sure that you have created a password for your site. Next, click on the “Settings” tab on the WordPress admin screen, and under “General” click on the “Password” link.

In the “Password” screen, you will need to enter your site’s username and password in order to enable password protection.

Once you have enabled password protection, you will need to configure the password protection settings for each individual page or post. To do this, click on the “Pages” or “Posts” tab on the WordPress admin screen, and then click on the page or post that you want to configure.

Under the “Security” section of the screen, you will see a box that says “Password protection”. In this box, you will need to enter your site’s username and password in order to enable password protection for that page or post.

Finally, you will need to create a password reset link for users who need to reset their password. To do this, click on the “Settings” tab on the WordPress admin screen, and under “General” click on the “Links” link.

In the “Links” screen, you will see a box that says “Password reset links”. In this box, you will need to enter the email address of a user who will be able to reset the user’s password.
