Accessing and Enabling Global Post/Page Protection:

Before you can protect all posts and pages with a single password, ensure you’ve installed and activated Password Protected Pro. If you’ve already done that, follow these steps to access and enable this feature:

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

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

Post Type Protection

You’ll find two options within the “Post Type Protection” tab.

1. Protect Posts Globally.

2. Protect Pages Globally.

Protect Global Posts and Pages:

This option allows you to protect all posts and pages on your site with a single password. To enable global post/page protection, follow these steps:

• Check the “Global” checkbox.
• Set your desired password for all posts and pages by clicking the “Password Protected Pro” button under the “Posts“

or the “Pages” section in the side menu.

• Scroll down to the Password Protected section.

• 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 post.

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

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

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

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

• Click Save Password to apply password protection to your post.
• The Password Detail Logs will be shown at the bottom of the password protected section.

Note: If you enable site-wide password protection and users have already entered the site-wide password, they won’t need to enter the global password for individual posts or pages.

Understanding the Protection Levels:

The Password Protected WordPress Plugin Pro offers different levels of protection for your content, including site-wide, global, category, and individual post/page protection. When you have multiple protection levels enabled on your site, it’s essential to understand how they work together.

Password Entry:

If you have more than one protection level configured on your site, such as complete site protection and global post/page protection, users only need to enter the password for the highest protection level.

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