    Hi there,

    I need to share a post with some colleagues before making it visible to the public. I want to password-protect the post, but here is my question: If I set a post to password-protected and then publish it, will be subscribers still receive an email notification about the post? If not, will the post go out to my subscribers once I remove the password protection and make the post public?

    Thanks so much,
    Heather

    I’m afraid you’re in the wrong forum. This support forum is only for free WordPress.com blogs. You appear to have a self-hosted WordPress.ORG install. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different, and this feature may not work the same for .org sites as it does for .com: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Please visit the WordPress.org support forum for assistance as we won’t be able to help you here: http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t already have a username on that forum, click the register button in the upper right corner so you can post in that forum.

    FWIW, on WordPress.com a notification is still sent out, but can only read it by visiting the site and inserting the password.
