  I password protect my individual posts before publishing them and recently changed my password. Problem is that people now need both passwords to go back and read older posts. Is there a way to change them all to the new one? I just bought the upgrade to have my own domain and I was hoping it would have that option, but I’m not seeing it. Any suggestions. Otherwise, will I just have to go through each posts and manually change it?

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

  It would need to be post by post as that is how they are stored and intended to be used.

  I think it may be too late for the existing posts but this plug in may help in the future

  I password protected a post here: http://angelasphere.com/2010/02/20/the-greatest-of-these-is-love/

  I wanted to check on the name of the password. I was in edit window.

  I used to be able to see the area where the password is, but now can not.

  Help.
