@Bob, based on what I’ve seen when I was researching this, no, nothing out of the box that simple. Sounds pretty custom to me.

Hey Rob,

Do you know of a Wordpress plugin that allows me to password-protect my posts for multiple users? In this scenario, one user would have a password to give them access to certain posts, while another user has a different password to see a different set of posts. Is this even possible?

Many thanks!

/Bob

You have no idea how long I was looking for that first solution (the second doesn’t change the search results, which I needed)… Thanks a bunch. :]

You have no idea how much you are loved for posting this…

This has been a horrible thing to try to figure out for a friend and I who are using WordPress – although some of the stuff that is protected is actually free stuff, it requires a password to prove you’re an adult. Which is extremely important, obviously. But who even wants to bother getting a password for it when you can’t see what the rest of the post is about?

We were so happy that WP allowed password locking, without membership, but very unhappy when it made everything simply state protected post instead of an excerpt of what you’d get if you bothered having a password. >_<

So… thankyouthankyouthankyou! Now I can actually post stuff and not put a seperate page that lists what is in each with a link to each post, which would be SUCH a nightmare.

Great article.
Was looking for something like the first solution.

Not sure if it uses the built-in password protected post function though…
