# HIde Post/Content

 * Hi All!
 * I need to create a post or page which is either a) hidden from view or b) password
   protected.
 * While I know that you can use Password Protection natively – can you actually
   edit that text?
 * I want to be able to create a page which we can send people to with a password
   so they can download hidden / protected content!
 * Thanks
 * Tony

 * I’m sure there’s a plugin out there that will let you edit the password-protected
   text but I simply re-wrote the function within the theme’s functions.php file:
 *     ```
       function change_protected_text($content) {
       	$content = str_replace(
       	'This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:',
       	'This is a subscriber-only page. Please enter this month’s password below:',
       	$content);
       	return $content;
       }
       add_filter('the_content','change_protected_text');
       ```

 * Theres a plugin called Hidepost (ironically named), but I think you need aMember
   in order for it to work properly…

 * You just put brackets around your protected content like this:
 * [hidepost]
 * Look everyone, here is my protected content!
 * [/hidepost]
 * Pretty simple…

 * Forget it, realised you need the plugin for that to work. Doesnt do exactly what
   I need though. i.e. I wanted a post to be viewable (by URL) just not visible 
   in the posts on the site.

 * Use the exclude pages plugin. No one will know the page exists but it can still
   be accessed.

 * are these pages indexed and can be found by search engines?

 * With the Exclude Pages plugin, you can also password protect the pages. I think
   they may get search indexed (the search box built into the website will find 
   it too), but you can also get another plugin to stop indexing of those pages.
