Password protected pages are not working. Goes to wp-pass.php (Page Not Found)

I am having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Hi BStofko,

There was another post I found at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/upgraded-to-34-now-password-protected-pages-not-working that provided info regarding this. (But, I decided simply to not use the plugin any longer.)

But you can find very specific details regarding this problem at https://tummel.me/wordpress-3-4-custom-password-form/.

I hope this helps you.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the quick response.

For others who might find this thread, version 3.4 drops wp-pass.php from the core, and instead uses /wp-login.php?action=postpass. So any custom protected login forms need to be updated to reflect this change.

kindly suggest i m working in localhost.
where should i place wp-pass.php file.

Hello,

I have the same problem but cannot locate the wp-pass.php in any of my files. Nor, can I find wp-login.php?action=postpass. I did find the wp-login.php file but like I said, cannot find wp-login.

Any suggestions?

Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.

@jgreen2011 : Did you find any solutions as I am facing the same problem.

Me too and no help

Hello All,

I’m on Site5, and all of my clients on Site5 are having the same problem.

With all the brute force attacks to the wp-login.php form, one security measure was to block any attempt at these string style parameters (ex. ?action=postpass).

@esmi is right though, this is the same problem essentially, but for different reasons. Having this issue in 3.5.1 is a different problem than it having to do with a customized password form.

So, this is a host issue.

Contact your host, ask them to whitelist the ?action=postpass. That should help you with this problem.

I opened a thread here for this specific problem — please post there for any follow ups.
