Better Protected Password Pages

Better Protected Password Pages is a lightweight plugin for improving WordPress’s built-in password-protected posts and pages.

The plugin keeps the native WordPress password protection workflow, then adds simple controls for the visitor-facing password form.

Features:

• Remove the default “Protected:” prefix from protected content titles.
• Customize the password form intro text.
• Customize the submit button label.
• Customize the failed password message.
• Add an optional password field placeholder.
• Set the protected content password cookie duration.
• Add an optional logo/image above the password form.
• Set optional button and form background colours.
• Add optional custom CSS classes to the password form wrapper.
• Enable lightweight default styling for password forms.
• Add per-page/post overrides for password-protected content.
• Reset settings to defaults.

Better Protected Password Pages is intentionally small. It does not replace WordPress roles, membership plugins, or access-control systems.
