  I use a different password on each post. Is there a way to automatically change passwords on posts every month?

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

  Harvey, this is something you will have to do manually.

  That’s annoying. I have a friend who offers video lectures on a WordPress.com site. His passwords are changed every month through a plug in. I don’t know the name of the plug in, but obviously it’s allowed on his WordPress.com (not .org) site, so I assumed I could do the same thing with my audio lectures. It’s annoying to have someone say it can’t be done when I know someone else is already doing it. Thanks anyway.

  Harvey, you could consider moving to a self-hosted site, like your friend. Plugins aren’t allowed on WordPress.com sites, but you can use plugins galore if you’re self-hosting.

  If you’re interested in the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  If you decide to make the transfer, this guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

  Let me know if you have questions.

  I have a self-hosted site, and so does my friend. However, his videos, each of which is password protected with a password that changes automatically every month, is hosted on a WordPress.COM site as I wrote in my previous response. (It’s actually at this URL:
  http://wmgpublishinglectureseries.wordpress.com/.)

  Thanks anyway. No problem.
