Password Protect WordPress – Translations of a Protected Page Are Not Protected

Overview of the Issue

When you use Password Protect WordPress to protect a page or a post with a password, its translations are not protected.

Password Protect WordPress saves the password on the original page only. The translated pages have no password, so a visitor who opens a translated page sees its content without the password form.

Workaround

Until Password Protect WordPress fixes this issue, protect each translation too:

1. Go to Pages and switch to the language of the translation.
2. Click Protect on the translated page.
3. Set the same password as on the original page.

Do the same for posts. Repeat this each time you change the password of the original page.
