  i set up the password to protect my pages, this was working fine. However i’ve been making changes before sending out the link to my viewers, and somehow now, when you click on the link it gives the viewer direct access to my account! The viewer is not asked for a password anymore, it goes straight to my page and is logged in as me.

  I have tried to reset my own password, this does not have any effect.
  Basically, each title now has the word ‘protected’ next to it which looks odd, and the password function has been deactivated.
  I tried making each of my 3 pages ‘sticky’ and not sticky, this also has no effect. Your urgent help would be much appreciated ! I have the link ready to go to all my friends and family before I fly to the UK tomorrow!!

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

  I can see the post titles and published dates on the homepage, but I was unable to visit the single posts on https://gavinphilippahelms.wordpress.com/. The password protect appears to be working properly.

  This is normal behavior for a password protected post or page. You may be able to hide the “Protected:” portion from the title with CSS customization.

  Correction: “The password protection appears to be working properly.”
