Password Protected Page
-
Password protected page no longer protected. Changed nothing other than adding an extra paragraph. Status still shows Password – but not working! Any ideas?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Could you tell us which page (or post) you set to be password protected?
Thanks.

It is the page Members Only – under the Contact Us tab

Hi,
I just visited your page. It is, indeed, password protected. I see the following:
Protected: Members Only
This content is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:
Then there is a field asking me to login.
Since you are logged in to your site, you will not see the same view that I see. You will be able to view the page unlike someone who is not logged in.
Hope this answers your question.

Thanks – weird that even when I logged out of WordPress I was still getting straight in to the page without having to put in password but if you say you are blocked at having to enter a password before proceeding it must just be the way I’m viewing it.

You’re welcome. Glad I could help :-)
P.S. you were probably viewing a cached page. Sometimes you have to clear the cache and/or cookies to be sure you’re actually logged out.

No problem :-)
The cache I’m referring to is the browser cache. Here is a great support page that talks about clearing the browser cache and cookies: https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/
