 * I’m using multi-site and I’m using WP Engine, they have configured the caching
   set up as you recommended.
 * However, I cannot style the login page. I have installed the plug you recommended:
   Login Designer. I can style the login page from the appearance–>customize–>login
   designer and I love the way it looks. However, when you access my site, it’s 
   not the styled login that shows up, but the default style-lacking WP login. However,
   if you access the admin login (site.com/wp-admin), then the beautiful login screen
   shows up. It appears that it’s only styling the admin login page and not the 
   password protected page.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblems-customizing%2Fpage%2F3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Unfortunately, the plugin is no longer working. It will not allow me to login
   in. The password is correct, I’ve double checked that. But I cannot login. I 
   have a development site and thought I’d try it on that one (since I can’t access
   my staging site). When I activate the plugin and try it in a private window, 
   I cannot login. I do have WP Engine hosting, but they have disabled the cookie
   as you instructed.

 * hmm…I changed the password, cleared the cache and tried again. It didn’t allow
   me to login with the new password, but the previous one it accepted (even though
   I cleared the cache).

 * I’ve had my host disable the plugin on my staging site, and now I’m able to login.
   They said it’s likely an individualized cookie that they need to exclude. We 
   previously added a cache exclusion for bid_1_password_protected_auth
 * Is there a different one we should be using with multisite/beta version?
 * Thank you!

 * I’m having the same issue. I cannot use the personalised page for the password
   protection. I attempted to download the beta files you linked in a previous message
   above but unfortunatelly the link had expired.
   I have created a login page with
   Login Designer. I see the Password Protected under customise aswell, but I don’t
   have any options to use the Login Designer display.Please help.

 * I apologize for the delay, I have been out of the office. I installed the new
   version today, but it’s still not working for me. It still doesn’t give me the
   menu option under appearance–> customize for Password Protected, only for Login
   Designer. So I still have no way to design the Password Protected login page 
   apart from using code. It does add Password Protected to my main WordPress dashboard
   menu, but the options there do not allow for changing the appearance of the password
   protected login, other than the option to add text before and after the login.
   The styling options (logo, colors etc.) are not available in that menu, and Password
   Protected still doesn’t show up on the customization menu.
