Hello,
I have a WordPress blog and have a password-protected page there. For example, let's call it https://mywordpressblog.net/downloads/) and the password "password123". I would now also like to enter the password via URL. I imagine that the URL would look like this: https://mywordpressblog.net/downloads/?post_password=password123. However, the form field for the password, which according to the HTML view of the page is called post_password, remains unaffected. Where is my mistake and how can my problem be solved? I would be very happy if someone could help me.
Thank you,
Dragonwolf
I believe browsers don’t pass form parameters whose type is password, and even if they did, it’s really not a secure thing to do. Any reason you want to do it this way?
Do you mean you want to pre-populate the password field on your /downloads/ page with whatever is in that URL variable? If so you’d do something like:
<input value=”<?php echo $_GET[‘post_password’]; ?>” />
This is gated content, there are quite a few plugins, free and commercial that will do the job, but possibly not exactly as you plan. I’d recommend having a look at a few and see if there’s a workflow that works for you.
How are you planning on selling the music/booklet? WooCommerce?
