By default, all pages are protected.

You could unprotect specific pages by disabling the plugin on certain pages using a filter. For example, add something like this to you functions.php file

<?php

function my_password_protected_is_active( $is_active ) {

	// Deactivate on front page
	if ( is_front_page() ) {
		return false;
	}

	return $is_active;

}
add_filter( 'password_protected_is_active', 'my_password_protected_is_active' );

?>

Well spotted. Thank you.

I’ll fix and release an update.

You could try my updated version of that plugin.

Also see this forum post about the Bluehost email issue where someone appears to have resolved their issue.

If the domain is hosted on BlueHost “the email address must exist in the cPanel” for it to be recognised. There is a tech note from Bluehost here.

Hi Torre,

Please note as per the notice on the plugin’s ww.wp.xz.cn page that Password Protected doesn’t work with WP Engine due to their caching setup.

Kind regards

Yes, you can logout by appending “?password-protected=logout” to the URL.

So if you want to create a logout link it would be something like this:

<a href="<?php echo add_query_arg( 'password-protected', 'logout', home_url() ); ?>">Logout</a>

If you want to redirect elsewhere I think you should be able to specify a URL:

<a href="<?php echo add_query_arg( array( 'password-protected' => 'logout', 'redirect_to' => 'http://ww.wp.xz.cn' ), home_url() ); ?>">Logout</a>

Are you still having an issue or did you just delete your original post?
