### 󠀁[Password problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/password-problem-20/)󠁿

I install the plugin and set a password to one category. When I try and fill in 
the correct password, I always have the same page “Enter the password”

I also experienced this. Installs ok and locks the category in WooCommerce but it
does not display the password box to be able to log into the page

Installs ok and locks the category in WooCommerce but it does not display the password
box to be able to log into the pages. Total waste of time.

Plugin doesn’t work – entering the passwords just reloads the page and asks for 
the password again. Issue was reported 2 weeks by one user and 7 months ago by another–
neither have been answered.

### 󠀁[Kinda works.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/kinda-works-5/)󠁿

 [apothecarymuse](https://profiles.wordpress.org/apothecarymuse/) marzo 20, 2018

I like how quickly this was to upload and get a no-nonsense clickable box to toggle
a category on or off. However, this seems to disable other sections or pages that
may be password-protected, so they can’t all work simultaneously. When testing, 
I am able to deactivate and reactivate the plugin and get it working again, but 
visitors to my site are not able to do that so it simply stops working.
