Wordpress - Password protecting a page
One solution would be to create a custom Page template for Pages that you intend to password protect.
Start by creating your custom Page template, perhaps named template-password-protected.php, and add the Template: file-docblock tag at the top, like so:
<?php
/**
* Template: Password-Protected
*/
?>
Now, add your basic Page template markup:
<?php
/**
* Template: Password-Protected
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="map" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Now, modify it so that default content is output if the page is password-protected:
<?php
/**
* Template: Password-Protected
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main">
<?php
// Globalize $post
global $post;
// Test for password-protected page
// Returns true if post is password-protected
// and if the password doesn't match cookie
if ( post_password_required( $post ) ) {
?>
<p>
CUSTOM CONTENT THAT DISPLAYS ONLY WHEN PAGE IS PASSWORD PROTECTED
GOES HERE
</p>
<?php
} else {
// Page isn't password-protected
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="map" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
EDIT
Based on this comment:
This doesn't seem to work, my page is loading up as normal whether I'm logged in or not.
I suspect that rather than password-protecting Pages, you actually want Pages to be visible only to logged-in users? (Note: these two concepts are entirely separate things in WordPress.)
So, running with that assumption, you would want to use is_user_logged_in(), rather than post_password_required().
Here's a sample custom Page template based on is_user_logged_in():
<?php
/**
* Template: Login-Required
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main">
<?php
// Globalize $post
global $post;
// Test for password-protected page
// Returns true if post is password-protected
// and if the password doesn't match cookie
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
?>
<p>
CUSTOM CONTENT THAT DISPLAYS ONLY WHEN USER IS NOT LOGGED IN
GOES HERE
</p>
<?php
} else {
// Page isn't password-protected
?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="map" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
To summarize:
Password Protected Post/Page
Apply a per-post/page password that users must enter in order to view the post/page content. This password is set in the post-edit screen, and uses the UI provided on that screen to set the post as password-protected. Post/page content inside the Loop is automatically protected based on this per-post setting.
From the Codex:
Password Protect This Post
To password protect a post, click Edit next to Visibility in the Publish area to the top right, then click Password Protected, click Ok, and enter a password. Then click OK. Note - Editor and Admin users can see password protected or private posts in the edit view without knowing the password.
Login Protected Post/Page
Completely separate from password-protecting a post/page. Requires wrapping content in a
is_user_logged_in()conditional, and does not use or require a per-post password.
EDIT 2
Looking at your code, I have to ask: do you intend to display this map on password-protected pages? Because that's what your code is instructing:
<?php
global $post;
if ( post_password_required( $post ) ) {
?>
<?php $fields = get_acf(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
window.onload = function() {
...
}}
)
</script>
<div id="map"></div>
This markup is saying: if the post password is required, display this javascript map.
I'm guessing that's the opposite of what you want?
Try this instead:
<?php
/**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Default_Theme
* Template Name: Page
*/
get_header(); ?>
<?php
global $post;
if ( post_password_required( $post ) ) {
?>
<p>THIS POST IS PASSWORD PROTECTED. PLEASE ENTER THE PASSWORD TO VIEW THIS POST.</p>
<?php
} else {
// No password required, or password has been entered
?>
<?php $fields = get_acf(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
window.onload = function() {
...
}}
)
</script>
<div id="map"></div>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?
} // Page isn't password-protected
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Also: I would name your custom template something other than "Page"

Re: this comment:
where would I enter a password to see the content?
You'll need to add a call to get_the_password_form() inside the post_password_required() output. Here's an example:
<?php
/**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Default_Theme
* Template Name: Page
*/
get_header(); ?>
<?php
global $post;
if ( post_password_required( $post ) ) {
?>
<p>THIS POST IS PASSWORD PROTECTED. PLEASE ENTER THE PASSWORD TO VIEW THIS POST.</p>
<?php echo get_the_password_form(); ?>
<?php
} else {
// No password required, or password has been entered
?>
<?php $fields = get_acf(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
window.onload = function() {
...
}}
)
</script>
<div id="map"></div>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?
} // Page isn't password-protected
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Now, the password form should appear.
Use the following function within the loop to check if the user is allowed to see the custom content you want to hide:
global $post;
if ( ! post_password_required( $post ) ) {
// protected content
} else {
echo get_the_password_form();
}
The password protection and password form only show up when the_content() or the_excerpt() are called unless you use the above approach.
