About this plugin

Having a problem or a question? Please write to the support forum first. I read it and will try to help you before you leave a review.

Bulk Password Protect Post Types lets you choose one or more post types and set one password for every post within them. A visitor sees WordPress’s own password form instead of the text, on the page, in search results, in feeds and in the REST API.

Features

  • Lists the post types your visitors can see, custom post types included, by the names the admin menu uses.
  • One password for all posts of the chosen types, set in one place.
  • Or a password of its own for a post type, when you want different ones.
  • Uses WordPress’s own password protection, so the form and the cookie behave as they do for a single protected post.
  • Posts you add later to a chosen type are protected from the first moment.

Good to know

  • The password is saved in the site’s database as plain text, as WordPress saves the password of a single post. Do not use one you use elsewhere.
  • The password of the setting replaces the password a post had of its own, for the post types you chose. A post type without a password, its own or the general one, is left as it is.
  • Nothing is written to the posts themselves. Remove a post type from the setting, or deactivate the plugin, and its posts are open again.
