My website [martinnwong.com](http://martinnwong.com) had one page password protected using the built in WordPress Visibility setting and it worked fine a few months ago. I haven’t updated any content since then, but now when I go to the password protected Design Process page and enter the correct password, it displays a blank page with url [https://martinnwong.com/wp-login.php?action=postpass](https://martinnwong.com/wp-login.php?action=postpass) but it does not redirect correctly to my /design-process page. I have tried deactivating all plugins, but the same issue occurs. I have since activated my plugins back. People need to see that page so I have had to remove the password and made it Public for now, but I’d like to set a password and give it out to people I need to see the page. Any help would be appreciated. ---

Good morning Martymar not sure if this is a theme problem, Is your page visible in the pages list? please check, sound like the page is not there anymore, to ensure this is not theme problem just activate one of default WordPress theme temporary and check again ---

Yes, it is listed in the Pages list. It is called Design Process. When I click on it, it shows the page to edit and on the right side panel in WordPress it shows the “Visibility” setting that I currently have as “Public” but can set it to “Password Protected” and then enter my desired password. However, when I do that, after entering the correct password on the site, it does not redirect me to the page. Right now I have it set to “Public” so it does not ask for the password, but I’d like to turn it back on to “Password Protected” if it would redirect correctly. ---

Sorry for no answer, yet i was not able to find the problem, i can’t say this is a theme problem because if you do small research you will find others also have the same problem in the internet with other themes, this seems to be a rare problem and yet no constant solution is available, if this is an urgent question for you my suggestion is to utilize plugin for this before i found something useful for you ---
