How to Access and Enable Specific Page Protection:

Before accessing this feature, you need to ensure that you have installed and activated the Password Protected Pro. If you’ve already done that, here’s how you can access and enable this functionality:

• Click on the “Password Protected” plugin from the side menu
• Go to the WordPress admin dashboard.

• Navigate to the “Post Type Protection” sub-tab after clicking the “Content Protection” tab from the top navigation tabs

Post Type Protection

In the “Post Type Protection” tab, you can see two options for protecting pages:

1. Protect Individual Post.

2. Protect Individual Page.

Protect Individual Pages:

• This option allows you to password protect individual pages.

• To enable individual page protection, mark the “Individual” checkbox.

• Go to the page’s Edit Mode.

• Scroll down to the Password Protected section at the bottom of the page.

• Check the Enable Password Protection checkbox and click the Save Changes button.

• On clicking the Save Changes button, You will find some fields to configure the password settings for your page.

1. Password: Enter the password you want to use for your page.

2. Usage Limit: Enter the number of times a user can access your page with this password.

3. Expiry: Enter the date when the password will expire and no longer work.

4. Status: Choose whether to activate, deactivate, or expire the password.

•  Click Save Password to apply password protection to your page.

• The Password Detail Logs will be shown at the bottom of the password protected section.

Note: If you have also enabled the site-wide password protection, and the user has already entered the site-wide password, they will not need to enter the individual page password again.

If the protected page belongs to a protected category or taxonomy, and the user has already entered the category or taxonomy password, they will not need to enter the individual page password again.

Understanding the Protection Levels:

It’s important to note that the Password Protected WordPress Plugin Pro offers different levels of protection for your content, such as site-wide, global, category, and individual page protection. When you have multiple protection levels enabled on a single site, you need to understand how they work together:

Password Entry:

If you have more than one protection enabled on your site, such as site-wide protection and individual page protection, you don’t need to enter passwords for both. You only need to enter the password for the highest protection level.

The order of protection levels is as follows: Site > Global > Category > Individual page.
