  On our site, I have created a button that is supposed to link to a password protected page. When the button is clicked on, it goes to a general ‘We’re having trouble finding that page’ in Firefox browser. Yet, if I look at the page under the admin site, it is there with the password box and once entered it goes to the page. Why if I view from the public side, it becomes inaccessible?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  This is an issue with the Question Submissions button on https://mhbattleofbooks.org/coaches/ yes?

  When click that link it works for me as expected, and I can see a blank page with a login field to enter a password to unlock the page content. I have tried this on Chrome and Firefox without issue.

  Can you clarify the URL of the page you are landing on when you get the “We’re having trouble finding that page” message? It may help if we can visit the page directly and confirm. Also, do you have this issue in other browsers, or Firefox only?
