Why doesn't my password protected post work?
-
My password protected post isn’t working. I enter in the password but it just reloads the page with the prompt to enter in the password. The site I need help with is sunshinemaryandthedragon.wordpress.com and I am not super computer savvy.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I read in another thread to try changing to the Twenty Eleven theme, so I did that and the password protected post now works perfectly. But I liked the Twenty Twelve theme better. Is there no way to get the password protected posts to work in Twenty Twelve??

When you’re asking about a specific post, always give us the direct link to the post http://sunshinemaryandthedragon.wordpress.com/2013/08/28/how-they-silence-us/
It should work on any theme.

Thanks for the tip, raincoaster. I read on another support forum question to try changing to twenty eleven and that seemed to work, but now all of my readers are emailing me to say they can’t get in. I know they have the right password, though. Any thoughts?

OK, this is really frustrating. None of my readers can get it, and so I logged out and cleared my cookies and cache, and now it isn’t working for me, either. The password is definitely correct. I’m just copying and pasting it from the edit screen, so I know for sure it’s right.
What happens is, you put in the password and page just reloads – you’re right back at the “enter password” screen. What gives?
-
I can’t help if I can’t test it. Create a new one and password protect it and give me the password so I can try it.

Hello. I have no idea why, but chopping off the last two letters of the password fixed the problem. That makes no sense, but it has totally worked.
