password protection not working

[michael_vvc]

Hi Armin,

I tried to set a page to password protected or to draft but both doesn't work. I cleared the cache and also checked the page in incognito mode. Any idea? Lay theme is up to date.

https://kristinbethge.com/print/

hey, i checked kristinbethge.com/print/ — that url is a woocommerce product archive (body classes: post-type-archive-product, woocommerce-shop), not a regular wordpress page.

wps password protection and draft status only apply to individual posts/pages, they dont work on auto-generated archive urls.

so setting the "print" page to draft/protected probably doesnt affect the /print/ url because the archive rewrites to it regardless.

options: 1. if "print" should be a real page instead of a wc archive, you'll need to restructure — either change the wc shop base or delete the /print/ page and rename the archive.

OR rename the page /print to sth else, like change the permalink
