  I have a page (blog) that is password protected. I’ve set the password. When I sent out the link for people to view the site and type in the password to see, only about 1/3 of the people were being asked for the password. 1/3 didn’t need to type in a password, and 1/3 couldn’t click into the blog at all – it kept looping them to the homepage. This was all at the exact same time, so I am SUPER confused. When I try to access the site from my phone and click on the blog link it doesn’t give me the option to type in a password…..EVER. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

  Also, the page is password protected but none of the posts within it are, those are public. The intent is that people have to type the password one time to see any post, and then they can read any of them freely.

  I am new to WordPress but have built sites in the past. I appreciate any help and insight you may be able to offer. Thank you in advance.
