  Can I use password protected pages when I have the free edition? I can’t find the plug in for making password protected pages. I wish to make a page that are password protected, so my visitors have to login with a code in order to access the information. Can someone help?

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

  Howdy bfenigheden!
  Surely you can manage to have your Pages Password Protected, When you, when you use Edit Pages Screen , you can visit the Page you would like to have as Password Protected and use this Guideline to make them Page Visibility

  Also if you would like to have your Posts Password Protected you can use this support document Post Visibility
  Hope this helps..! Let us know for any further assistance..!
  Best Wishes..!

  Thank you for this answer. It was very helpful!

  It seems, though, that only one page can be password protected. I would like to make a section (visible from the top menu on the front page) password protected. Do you know if that is possible?

  I seemed to have lost the password to a protected page. Can you please guide me as how I can recover it, or get a new password for that page? Thanks so much–SB Mandel

  @sb1digital:

  “Finding or Changing a Password
  Only an Administrator, Editor, or the post’s Author can change a post’s password or visibility setting. To do so, use the “Visibility: Edit” link again. These settings are also available using the post’s Quick Edit link in the All Posts Screen.

  The Visibility “Edit” link (or “Quick Edit”) is also a good way to reveal a forgotten post password.”

  @bfenigheden : You can have any many Password Protected Pages, you can manage thier visibility individually, all the pages you want you can enable them and have them in the Menu.
  Hope it will sort it up, if not do let me know further details, what are you trying to achieve and we can see what can be best done.

  Also a big Thank you for answering @sb1digital ..! Appreciated..! :)
  Do let us know for anything else.!

  @pavanraheja, thank you. I do have one more question – I hope you don’t mind.

  When I create a child page to my top page (in my case the top page is called ‘For beboere’), it seems like my visitors have to write a code for every child page I create.

  I just want them to write the code once – and then they have access to all the pages created as child pages to ‘For beboere’.

  You can have a look at my page here: bfenigheden.wordpress.com – maybe that can help you.

  Does it make sense what I mean?

  Hi again!
  Yeah, understand your Question, unfortunately, there is no way to do that, you can set each Page and Post Password Protected separately, but if you would like to have a complete separate blog private, with just one login, you can set is as Private blog and only invited users can view it have a look at this support document Privacy settings

  Hope this helps, let me know if you need any further information..!
