This is a simple Plugin that lets you set multiple passwords for your password protected posts and pages.<\/p>\n\n

On posts\/pages with password protection it will show an extra Metabox with a field to input additional passwords, one in each line.<\/p>\n\n

Note that if you just changed a post\/page to password protection you have to save once so that the extra field appears.<\/p>\n\n

Expire passwords<\/h4>\n\n

You can also make passwords expire after x hours when being used. You can find the settings under Settings -> Multiple Post Passwords.<\/p>\n\n

Note that the actual deletion of the passwords is triggered by a cronjob which is run every 30 minutes. So even if you set your expiry time to very short, it may still take 30 minutes until the password really expires.<\/p>\n\n

Also note that the expiration only works for the additional passwords, not for the standard WordPress page\/post password.<\/p>\n\n

Using lots of passwords on one page<\/h4>\n\n

If you are using lots of passwords on one page and the password check takes a long time, you should activate the alternative password check in the settings to speed up the password check.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the zip to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  3. Edit the post or page you want to protect with multiple passwords<\/li>\n
  4. When you set a password and save once, the field to add multiple passwords will appear in the top right corner<\/li>\n
  5. Set as many passwords as you wish, one in a line<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    I cannot see where I can enter the additional passwords<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    First set one password (as you normally would in WordPress), then save once and you\u00b4ll see the extra field where you can add the passwords.<\/p>\n\n

    In Gutenberg Editor you have to save and then completely reload the admin page.<\/p>\n\n

    We decided to not show the extra metabox if there is no password set so it does not clutter the interface.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Where are the plugin settings<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    You can find the settings under Settings -> Multiple Post Passwords.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does this support custom post types<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes, this was implemented in Version 1.0.2<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What about feature X<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Just go to the support forums and kindly ask for it, then we\u00b4ll see what we can do. Thank you!<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
