 * Hi Community,
 * I have installed the plugin and it works fine, when I enter the right password.
 * When I enter a false one, then the following message occurs on the screen:
 *     ```
       Warning
       : hash_equals(): Expected known_string to be a string, bool given in
       /homepages/path_2_my_homepage/wp-content/plugins/password-protected/password-protected.php
       on line
       308
       ```
   
 * How can I fix that?
    Best relativhammer
