Is it possible to allow users to view password protected posts?

  • I have a site i run for myself, https://www.hybrixraven.com/ I have a section that is my Journal and I want to allow certain users or a user group access to view password protected posts without requiring a password, is there a way to allow people who login to automatically be able to see these? I’ve been searching online, in these forums and via the plug-in search for about an hour, even editing the user roles and allowing read_private_posts doesn’t work (i think this is for private only not password). Any ideas?

  • If you’re criteria for viewing a post is that someone be logged into your site and not that someone has to enter a password, you should use the ‘Priavte’ post function rather than the “Password:” function.

    Is there another reason you’re using the password functionality?

    I do have some people who I only want on certain posts but I have others who I want to be able to view all passworded posts without having to memorize them all.

    That’s pretty fine tuning. You probably need a plugin to do this for you. Try this one: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/role-scoper/

    I’m actually starting to think this is not possible as even as admin I cannot view my own posts without the password. oh well, thank you anyway for trying.

    Right – that’s the point of adding a password to it ??
    You could, however, abandon the password approach, and just use that plugin I referenced above to give certain users access to certain posts and restrict other users from accessing them.
