Protected site with different logins/passwords?

  • Hello,

    I’m still a big newbie with WordPress, and I didn’t find a solution for this by browsing the whole morning, hope you can help me:

    I need a page that is only visible after a password is entered. This is easy, but what I need is to assign different passwords to different people. With the build-in function I can only set one password for everybody.

    The absolute fantastic solution would be this one (figure this might be much harder, so it’s optional):

    1. Visitor sees PART OF the content of the page without entering a password
    2. If he enters a password, he sees ALL content on that page

    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you all very much,
    Tim

    To make things more clear, this is what I’m looking for.

    Page content:
    —————————————–
    Content visible for everybody
    (content visible for those who entered password)

    Content visible for everybody
    (content visible for those who entered password)

    Content visible for everybody
    (content visible for those who entered password)
    —————————————–

    Hey Esshahn, I’m not sure if you still need this but, WPMUDev already has this as a plugin. You can check it out at https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/password-protect-selected-content.

    I am looking for a multi password set up for individual passwords and found you post so I thought I would help.

    Take care,

    WordPress supports “assign different passwords to different people” already. Add users with the default Subscriber role.

    I once did the “absolute fantastic solution” by writing a custom plugin that defines two shortcodes. Text inside one shortcode is hidden if you are not logged in. Text inside the other shortcode is hidden if you are logged in. Any other text on the page is visible to everyone. If this would be useful to you, reply here and I’ll provide a complete (but unsupported) sample plugin.
