  • Public – The page will be visible to everyone.
  • Protected – The page is protected with a password you set. Only people who have the password can view a protected page.
  • Private – Pages are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators. Private pages are not visible in feeds or in any search. A page can be private without being password protected.

Here’s an example of how to set a password protected page:

password_page

WordPress will prompt you for the password on your initial visit to a protected page. After entering the password that first time, we’ll securely store the password with the browser you viewed it with so you won’t have to enter it again.
