Password Protection of Blog Post Fails to Protect
-
I wanted to post a gallery containing 137 photos to 5 clients for their review. I uploaded the images, clicked the password protect button, entered my password, clicked OK, and then published. To my dismay, when I opened my site I saw that the post was marked “protected”, but in fact all photos were visible without entering a password. Same result with 2 other computers in my household. I edited my post and sure enough the protected settings were intact. So until I find out why this happened I had no choice but to delete my post or incur the wrath of my clients. I tried posting to a separate new page and the same thing happened. Help and thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thank you! When I checked other computers in my household, I was administrator on those as well. After receiving your reply I logged in as guest and found that the post was indeed password protected. What a relief – thanks again for the explanation.
