Password protected page/post

[A Former User]

Hi Armin,

it seems you have disabled the wordpress feature to password protect a page/post.

Is there a way to enable it somehow? Some workaround? I would like to create a client area with a simple login.

cheers,
T

Hey!
Lay Theme doesn't support password protected posts. I might add that feature one day but it has low priority compared to other features that I want to work on.

Hey Armin,
any news about a password option?
Still testing lots of plugins without any success…

cheers

Nope, no news here :/

[BennythePenny]

@arminunruh Damn! Your theme is cool but I'll think it's extreme necessary…
cheers, benni

Yeah, gonna work on that one day :D

Yeah would really really like this to be implemented. I have some private client projects that I'd like to put in my portfolio for interviews and stuff :). Do you know of any Wordpress plugins that will protect certain pages versus the entire site?

[arminunruh]

hey dc those plugins probably won't work with lay theme

Hi Armin, any news on the development of password protected pages? I really need this feature since i can not share all projects on my site publicly but can share some behind a password..

Hi kk87,

the new version of LayTheme is in development but we cannot promise that this feature will be a part of it in the very near future.

What you can do is to give those projects a different category and NOT show them in the normal menu.

By that they are not visible to the public but you can send a link around.

I hope that is an alternative for you.

All the best!

@mariusjopen Thanks for your reply. How about google searchability then? The page is still visible from search results, no?

[mariusjopen]

Hi kk87,

you are absolutely right. You might find it on a search engine.

But if you anyway only show it within a certain time. Lets say one or two weeks long. It won't matter too much.

But there is not a clean solution for this yet.

All the best!

Hi Armin,

I wanted to ask if it would be possible to add a password on a page of my website to protect a project. Do you have any update on that? Thanks x
