  How can I add the box in which to enter the password and the submit button for password protected pages?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Not entirely sure what you are asking, because if you select in your post, the visibility of password protected, it will automatically come up with the box and the submit button. In fact you already have this on a few of your pages, in the members only area. Have you forgotten how to do this? Or is one of them not working, if so, could you give us the URL, with the http:// , at the front, it makes things easier

  Thank you for offering the above links. I have studied the directions again and have double and triple checked all three of the pages that aren’t responding, by seeing that they are marked protected, entered my password, clicked OK and Update on each page, but they are not showing the box in which to enter the password nor the submit button.

  If you would be so kind as to look on my site, I would very much appreciate knowing how to make this work as there are other password protected pages that I need to create. Here is my url:
  http://heatherbroch.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  If you go into my webpages and find the Team Roster page under the Contact tab, you will see a box for entering the password and a submit button. However, if you go to Members only, or to the Wicked T or Broadswords page in that section, no password box and submit button appears in spite of the fact that in the edit page capacity, I have marked the protected option, included the password and clicked ok and update. This is what I am still seeing:
  http://heatherbroch.wordpress.com/members-only/?preview=true&preview_id=465&preview_nonce=f0985f5203

  Again, many thanks for your assistance, Diane/HBDScot

  I can say that all three pages come up protected with a box for a password and submit. So I guess this is happening on your end, maybe you’ve entered in the password before and it’s remembered, or maybe since you are the admin it doesn’t come up, is it showing you the contents of tyre page?

  I’d suggest trying a different browser or computer to check them, because it comes up for me.

  Hope that helps.
