Password protection not working

When I assign a password to a page and then click the link to the page all the content is displayed without asking me to enter a password.
This is not acceptable.

Go to http://rosenhuset.dk/ and click “LOGIN”

Thanks Klavs

    Hi KHolsted,

    The page is working as designed and displays the message:
    ‘Dette indhold er adgangskodebeskyttet. For at se det, indtast venligst din adgangskode nedenfor:’

    You are seeing the page content because you are already logged in. To see the page working you will need to log out of your dashboard before visiting the page.

    Hope this helps.

    Ok that helps but I had to see it in another browser.
    Even if I wasn’t logged in to the WP dashboard Firefox showed the content without prompting me with the password.
    I tried to wipe the cache but it didn’t help????

    Hi KHolsted

    This seems to be an issue with firefox in general, which does not clear all session cookies even after a cache clear some still remain, including those for some site logins. There does not seem to be any discernable pattern for this as reports are that some sites retain just the username and others the ‘is logged in’ data. You can try to clear again and make sure that the option for site preferences is checked, this should remove all the session cookies and the page should respond normally again. Once you have this then in firefox you will have to make sure and manually log out of your site to retest that page.

    Hope this helps
