    Happy New year!
    Strange thing happens: when I set a page or a post password protected inside WordPress, I have to also enter wp-login page password as well. this request pops up after entering the page password.
    This is inconvenient, because I want to share this password protected page with others and I only want to provide them with the page password, not the wp-login password as well.
    Any way to disable the wp-login password requirement on regular password protected pages? Thanks

    Does wp password protected pages redirect to /wp-admin/ ? as wp-login.php password protect involves also protecting wp-admin. If you have user logins, you need to disable wp-login.php nginx level HTTP password protection.

    There are no user logins per se. It is just a WordPress page that is set to Private with password protection. The password is set in the page settings under the Status and Visibility tab -> Private.

    If the wordpress page private password protection uses same function as wp-login.php or has a call to wp-admin/* somewhere, then yes it would trigger wp-login.php protection, so would need to disable wp-login.php password protection unfortunately.

    sounds like setting private is only for admin/editors viewing so needs login permissions
