Maybe someone can suggest something worthwhile for this:
I have a password protected page on one of my sites that is a professional project portfolio. I only give out the url in my resume or via email. It is currently password protected using WP.
I'm making some updates to it to put projects on individual pages instead of within accordions. I'd love to keep all these new pages password protected, but not require someone to log in for each page. More than anything, I don't want the pages to be crawled, so I'll take care of that in the robots.txt file.
What do you think is the best way to approach this? Anyone know of a WP plugin that allows you to apply password requirements to multiple pages, but cache that password as you navigate to various pages?
Thanks guys.

I may have found something.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/ft-…Didn't realize I could create these new pages as children of the parent page (portfolio) and there's likely some plugins that password project children.

I believe if you apply the SAME password to multiple pages, users can browse all password-protected pages by only entering the password 1 time on the first password-protected page that they visit.
Worth a shot at least.

That seems to work actually. Maybe this is something they added to WP in a recent update.The only thing is that when you're on the page to log in, the child page links show at the top of the page, as well as on the top of the page when you're logged in.
I'm going to have to trick this out a bit to remove that stuff.

Presto. A simple edit to remove that child list.

Glad it worked. I'm pretty sure that functionality has been built in for quite a while because I seem to remember applying it to a site at least a year or 2 back.
