Password Protected Pages Go Blank

  • There are password-protected pages that I am having an issue with. They are either not letting the user in after the password is entered, or if they are, they’re getting a blank page. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

    Thanks.

  • @gooddave,

    Is it possible to post a link to a protected page on your website so I can take a look?

    Entering page password sometimes goes to https://www.sfcontario.ca/wp-login.php?action=postpass, which is a blank page (minimal non-visible HTML). Very unhelpful behavior.

    I am having almost the exact same issue. I have a blank template and a password on the page. When users hit the page and put the password in, they get redirected to /wp-login.php?action=postpass.

    Hi, any luck with this issue?
    having the exact same issue

    Oddly enough, a client reported this issue yesterday and I had to look into it.

    After an hour of googling, I came across a comment on this Stack Exchange question which is excerpted below:

    Oddly, wp-login.php had no reference to postpass in any of the argument switches or in the functions.. (how did that happen, I wonder?)

    So I replaced the file with wp-login.php from a working WP and voila, problem solved.

    I went ahead and uploaded a fresh copy of wp-login.php extracted from the latest version of WordPress, and that solved my problem.

    So in my client’s case, it appears some upgrade didn’t complete fully — as the site had an outdated version of the wp-login.php file. (I went ahead and completely replaced all the WordPress files, just in case this problem existed with other files.)

    I have the same problem but uploading a new wp-login-php does not work for me. Any new suggestions on this one?
