Password form not showing on protected page template, content just disappears

I ended up using this code:

<?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
    ?>

because I realized the code doesn’t automatically include the password input field.

My question now is: What is the code to add the proper password input field?

Thanks!

Ok, so after some more research and tweaking, I ended up with this code:

<p>
    <form action="<?php get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=postpass" method="post">
    <p>This page is password protected. Please enter your client password below:</p>
    <p><input name="post_password" id="<?php $label ?>" type="password" size="20" /><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /></p>
    </form>
    </p>

in the area where “Custom content that displays only when page is password protected goes here” is. The main thing I was looking for was the form action that would ask for the correct password (“postpass”).

Hope this helps someone!

Hi,thank you for sharing. But where I should put this code? In my template page?

I think it’s easier if you use this
<?php echo get_the_password_form(); ?>

Note that the password form uses <siteurl>/wp-pass.php now, instead of wp-login.php?action=postpass.
