    Hi Steve. We don’t allow public submission of entries to our directory but I would like to add a password protected form where office staff can add links. None have experience with WordPress so I don’t want them poking around in the backend. Is there a way to enable the submission form with a password as described? Thanks.

    I tried some javascript and css to to require a password to show the containing div but couldn’t work it out. I’ll see if I can work it out. This isn’t critical but thought I’d ask.

    Okay Steve sorry for this but I worked something out.

    I know you have a solution implemented…

    I’m assuming you are using the frontend Form addon(?). You could navigate to the Connections Settings admin page, click the Form tab, uncheck all fieldsets except, the Links option, and save the change.

    The contributors should be able to add and edit links while maintaining the other entry data. They would still be able to edit the name, title, dept, etc… but you could use CSS to hide those fields.

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks Steve. I appreciate the suggestion.

    I am using the built in form. For now I password protected the div containing the form and also have the password need to be reentered every certain amount of time. I am using other settings in WordPress and disallowing login and requiring moderation so hopefully should be reasonably secure.

    We only want our own staff to add entries in part to have some control over the contractors added which are basically companies we know work within our industry.

    Thanks again.
