<p>This is a simple Plugin that lets you set multiple passwords for your password protected posts and pages.</p>
<p>On posts/pages with password protection it will show an extra Metabox with a field to input additional passwords, one in each line.</p>
<p>Note that if you just changed a post/page to password protection you have to save once so that the extra field appears.</p>
<h4>Expire passwords</h4>
<p>You can also make passwords expire after x hours when being used. You can find the settings under Settings -> Multiple Post Passwords.</p>
<p>Note that the actual deletion of the passwords is triggered by a cronjob which is run every 30 minutes. So even if you set your expiry time to very short, it may still take 30 minutes until the password really expires.</p>
<p>Also note that the expiration only works for the additional passwords, not for the standard WordPress page/post password.</p>
<h4>Using lots of passwords on one page</h4>
<p>If you are using lots of passwords on one page and the password check takes a long time, you should activate the alternative password check in the settings to speed up the password check.</p>

<p>This plugin does one thing. If a page that is password protected has children pages, all children pages will be protected with the same password.</p>
<p>If the correct password is entered on the parent page or any of its children pages, all related pages will be viewable to the user.</p>
<p>The plugin protects unlimited levels of grandchildren pages via the $post->ancestors. It uses first ancestor that is password protected.</p>
<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<p>The plugin currently works by looking for parent pages that are password protected and applying the same restrictions the the currently being viewed child page. This means that the children pages do not actually get a password added to the database.</p>
<p>I’m trying to decide if this is the best way to proceeed or if I should take another route (such as adding / updating / removing passwords from children pages at the write or save post screen).</p>
<p>Please feel free to offer any suggestions or report any bugs here: [http://fullthrottledevelopment.com/password-protect-children-pages/]</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
