Protected Post Password Hint

If you have ever thought of providing password hint for any protected posts, this plugin will be useful. It replaces the boiler-plate password form with a form containing hints.

Traditionally all password protected posts contain a string looking like:

WordPress password box

Without any capability to change the string, one must provide the hint in another post, which is a bit clumsy. Not to mention, people viewing the single protected post only will be unable to see the hint at all. With this plugin protected posts are more usable.

Usage

A picture is worth a hundred words: :)

The password hint is taken from a certain custom field within the protected post, with key name ‘password_hint’. If this key is present, the value of key is immediately taken as the password hint. Without the key, the standard password form is shown again… well, with some little enhancement actually. The password form will not be mangled by content autoformatting done by WordPress, and you can change the style of password form with style sheets!

  2. 我本來打算以這個”密碼提示”作為我的第一個wordperss的插件呢,看來還是不用了吧,狗爺已經做了,哈哈.

    可惜還沒學習php阿~所以遲遲沒開始~不知何年何月才玩插件吧.呵.
    謝謝狗爺~~

    PS: 不過wordpress官方blog不能裝插件呢…能建議它們安裝這個為內置function嗎?

    基本上沒甚麼可能,因為 wordpress.com 是以商業模式運作的,要加哪個插件,可以說都是商業決定。
