TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who need to grant different password-protected pages to different clients, members, or organizations. It solves the problem of managing multiple passwords by letting one password entered on a central page unlock access to that password's related child pages automatically.

  • Central password entry page
  • Shortcode-based password field
  • Customizable submit button label
  • Unique form ID for CSS
  • Custom CSS styling
  • Password shared across child pages
  • No re-entry on linked pages
  • Works with WordPress password protection

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Smart Passworded Pages

There's no need for options, just create a parent page that is NOT passworded and include the shotcode somewhere in the text: [smartpwpages] Then create child pages that ARE password protected using the normal WordPress process for adding a password. It's that simple. The user will be taken to the first passworded child page that matches the password the reader entered. If you don't know what children pages or sub-pages are, you might want to read about it here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Pages
This plugin doesn't add the ability to add passwords to pages. WordPress already has that built in. On the right hand side of the page editing screen in WordPress, near the top, you can change the \"Visibility\" value to "Password protected" and enter a password into the field that appears. Remember! Do this only for the child pages and not the parent pages! If you are unfamiliar with using passwords in WordPress, you might want to read this page first: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Password_Protection
You've password protected the parent page. Remember, you WANT people to see the page with the smart password prompt. Remove the password from that page and you'll be fine.
Yes, as of version 2.0. You still have to create a parent page and password protect the child pages. Then you can specify the ID of the parent page in the prompt. In this fashion, you can create a central password page, or widget that takes you to multiple locations. Here is an example of the contents of such a widget or page... View Scores: [smartpwpages parent=\"491\" label=\"Enter Team PW:\" ID=\"uniqueName1\"] View Team Notes: [smartpwpages parent=\"507\" label=\"Enter Team PW:\" ID=\"uniqueName2\"]
Of course! You can even use the ID parameter on the short code change the ID of each entry form you use and make custom CSS for each. Here is an example of some CSS that makes the entry field, button and password error message all really ugly... (!! NOTE: There are slashes in the following text to make it appear correctly online. Do not include the slashes () in your css file !!) p#smartPWError { border: 4px solid red; width: 258px; padding: 5px; background-color: aqua; font-weight: bolder; } #smartPWLogin input[type=\"submit\"] { background-color: coral; color: navy; font-size: large; } input#smartPassword { display: block; background-color: yellowgreen; color: cadetblue; margin-bottom: 12px; }
