  I have one post on my blog and it is set to be password protected. Yet, it is viewable to the public. How do I fix this?

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

  Hi there,

  I’m sorry about that! I looks like because of how the Illustratr theme displays galleries, the gallery from your post is showing up even though the post itself is password-protected. I reported that to our developers so they can look into it. Thanks for reporting this!

  If there’s anything I can do in the meantime, please let me know.

  Okay, thank you! I had a feeling it might be the theme.

  Are there any themes I can temporarily use in the meantime that are very good for password protected posts?

  I don’t know of any other themes that have that issue with password-protected posts, so you should be able to use any other theme in the meantime. You may want to try Mixfolio or one of the other portfolio-oriented themes listed here:

  Hi,

  we deployed a fix that makes sure that galleries are not displayed on password protected posts in Illustratr.

  So it should be safe to switch back to Illustratr now.

  Cheers!

  Hi there,

  I’ve switched back to Illustratr, and my password protected post is still public.

  Hey,

  could you please open the website in a browser in which you are not logged-in to WP.com?

  I opened the address you gave in a window in private browsing mode and could not see the gallery.

  Thanks!
