Cannot access password protected page in Bricks Editor

[adeel]

This makes me laugh. How am I supposed to edit a page which is password protected (a password protection template is applied to this page)

When I try to edit the actual page, it’s showing me the TEMPLATE in the editor instead of the page content.

BUG or something I missed ??

UPDATE:

When I go to the frontend and try to access the page, and ENTER password to unlock.
Then, if I try to edit the page in Bricks Editor it shows page content fine.

You can disable the password protection for logged in users, so you can edit it anytime.

Who are logged-in users in the screenshot you shared above? I mean only admins or any user role?

If user with any role will be able to access it (even while I’m editing the page) this can be a problematic. Not for me right now but for sure in future or the sites with significant traffic.

Good question “Logged-in users” means any logged-in WordPress user, regardless of role. So if your site has subscribers/customers or other frontend user accounts, they would also bypass this password protection when the option is enabled.

If you only want editors/admins to access it, don’t enable that option on a site with general user accounts. In that case, unlock the page once on the frontend with the password before editing (as you already mentioned)
