Hi there,

I need to set a page with protected content. I don’t want the users to become members of my wordpress website. I just need them to enter a password I gave them earlier. So I set the visibility of the page to “protected by a password” (not in cornerstone). But… the page where the users have to enter the password is ugly. How can I change it?

Thanks a looooot

Elise

Hi Elise

Hey Casper,

Have you tried utilizing our [protect] shortcode instead?

Here is a demonstration of it: http://theme.co/x/demo/integrity/1/shortcodes/protected-content/

Which I think you will find useful as it already looks the way it sounds like you want it to be styled.

We also have a video on this in the Knowledge Base if you would like more information on it.

Hope that helps,

Joao

Thanks for your answer. I don’t want people to enter a username, but only a password. Can I modify the shortcode for that?

Thanks

Hi, sorry this doesn’t work for me. I tried deleting “protect shortcode” in the page and insert it again, etc.

X is correctly updated.

I am missing something?

Thanks

Hello There,

Would you mind providing us the url of your site with login credentials so we can take a closer look and fix the issue? This is to ensure that we can provide you with a tailored answer to your situation. Once you have provided us with your URL, we will be happy to assist you with everything.

To do this, you can make a post with the following info:
– Link to your site

– WordPress Admin username / password
– FTP Hostname
– FTP Username
– FTP Password

Don’t forget to select Set as private reply. This ensures your information is only visible to our staff.

And by the way, the given code above is for password protected pages and not for the modification of the protect content element within Cornerstone.

Please let us know how it goes.

Is it possible to write a code not to ask the user to enter a username for protect content element in Cornerstone?

Thank you !

Hello There,

Thanks for the updates!

“Is it possible to write a code not to ask the user to enter a username for protect content element in Cornerstone?”
The Protect Content element is designed to ask a username and a password. If you only want to have a password, you need to create a new element which will go under custom development. Please keep in mind that custom development is beyond the scope of our support. Our support covers getting setup, theme features, and bug fixes.

In my previous reply, I urge you to add a custom code which is good for a protected page feature in WordPress. To know more about this WordPress feature, please check out the codex here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Password_Protection
This is the quickest and easiest way for you to implement a page with only asking for a password.

Hope this helps and explains it briefly.
