Description
This plugin allows passwords for password-protected pages/posts to be passed directly through the URL.
The query string parameter that should contain the password is pw
.
For example, if the URL of your post is http://myblog.com/password-protected-page/
and the password is PASSWORD
,
then just append ?pw=PASSWORD
to it.
If the URL already contains a query string (for example, http://myblog.com/?p=5
), then be sure to append &pw=PASSWORD
instead.
