http://theyearofseriousgardening.wordpress.com/ is set to Private. You need to change that setting on Settings->Reading.

Two problems - firstly my changes through Dashboard are not being applied to all of my blog, only some pages (Tours won't update). These pages have nothing on them - not even the be the first of your friends to like this....

Second some pages are password protected and if I enter my password nothing happens (as in I can't even type the password in). My blog is http://africaphotographictours.wordpress.com/.

Thanks for the feedback! We take user suggestions seriously, so I will definitely submit this for review.

Cheers!

In that case, let me suggest this feature (maybe not necessary in the way I proposed before) for future improvements. I do believe it's a pretty simple and secure way for sharing that kind of content and minimising management tasks.

Thank you sincerely, cheers!

While modifying the POST or GET methods on a WordPress.com site isn't possible, setting that post or page to password-protected will effectively protect it for your viewers with the password - as you noted above.

Currently, that is our recommendation for achieving what you want done in this scenario.

Cheers!

I am not sure if what you want to do is possible, but let me double-check and get back to you!

Cheers!

The blog address is also http://ateneonavarro.wordpress.com

I am trying to provide a private area for users in my page. Configuring it was something easy. But it's not very cool to send the same password to all our users (more than 1000).

So, I am trying to do something like those Google Services visibility options > "Share to anyone with the link". I am just figuring out how could I embed the password into the URL. Doing so, I would have the same kind of solution in a more elegant manner.

I am thinking about using POST or GET methods... But not sure about how could this be done in WordPress URLs...

Any help on this?

Thank you in advanced!

I'm looking to make a blog page that isn't password protected or private accesible only by logged-in users. Simply a page that I can publish that isn't linked to my blog main page, and doesn't show up in a menu, but that has a URL I can send to friends whom it concerns.

I noticed that WordPress.org has a plug-in called "Page Link Manager" which accomplishes what I'm looking to do. Does WordPress.com have the same capabilities?

Thank you!

And you are welcome.

I just wanted to point out the problem due to his nonsense. Then there is just one last thing I would appreciate from WP: warn the bloggers about this little inconvenient. That can´t be so complex, right?

Thanks again.

If you want more control, set up a second blog and put the private stuff on that, set that site to private and then have people sign up for a wordpress.com username and password and invite them to that blog. That still isn't totally secure though if they happen to do the "remember me" when they signed in. Anyone getting on that same computer would then still be able to get into that site since the person has saved the username and password to their computer/browser.

Bottom line: Security on the internet is a pipe dream. You do the best you can to protect your login information and keep people off of your computer and log out of your computer if you leave it for any length of time.

Each computer is a single entity as far as the web goes because the only identifying things that wordpress has to go off of is the IP address and possibly the MAC address for the computer. The IP address might not ever change if the computer is on a network.

This is far more complex to accomplish than you realize.

I see what you mean, but the problem is that WP doesn´t actually see that this "person" has entered the password, but rather that the "browser" has done it... The problem is, obviously, that different users can enter the blog through the same browser.

I think rather than a time limit it should be a "user" limit, if you know what i mean... Every time you sign out of your WP account, the password is canceled and next time you will need to type it in again. In a perfect world, WP would recognize that that user already knows the password and simply don´t ask for it again, but hey, maybe I ask too much ;)

Anyways I really think this is a failure in WP privacy policy and that´s why I strongly believe they should work on it...

I agree that this needs to be looked at and possibly a time limit put on the access or something.

I came to realize that when i write password-protected pages or posts, the browser of the person opening the protected page automatically saves the password, even when the person logs-out of WP. So no matter which other WP user opens my blog from that browser, is automatically granted of an access I didnt give him.

It obviously just doesn´t make any sense. It is about time WP finds a solution. I would understand, and I would find it useful, if the USER didn´t need to type in the password after the first time. So the password would be saved not from the user´s browser, but from the user´s account. THAT would make sense.

So when WP writes:

"WordPress will prompt you for the password on your initial visit to a protected post. After entering the password that first time, WordPress will securely store the password with the browser you entered it with so you won’t have to enter it again."

he also knows it´s a lot of BS. WP should also write: "but pay attention that the password will remain available for ALL the users entering your protected pages from that same browser"...

So please dear WP,
finde a solution for this non-sense.

Thank you!

Here is the short url http://wp.me/2nREg to your websites home page this method works for post and pages as well you just need to have the page or post link loaded in your browser url bar first, then hover over your site name on the left side of your grey admin bar then you will see a short url for such post or page...

Try this out:

.post-password-required p:first-child:after {
	display: block;
	padding-top: 1em;
	content: "Put new text here.";
}

I am still curious to know if there is a way to solve the problem I mentioned above? Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

I have had the CSS upgrade for a few months now and thanks to the awesome people in this forum I have been very happy with the changes made to our blog but now I have a question about something I haven't been able to figure out on my own.

When you make a post password protected there is the page where the reader has to type in the password before being re-directed to the post. The part that says: "This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below" I would like to be able to edit that text so as to have it in English as well as in Portuguese, since we work with clients in both languages. Is this possible, and if so, how would I do that?

Thanks so much! This is the blog that has the upgrade: http://piteiraphotography.com/
