Anja » The downside of doing that is your friends will have to memorize the password. But it works.

I found my solution a few minutes ago. In wp-pass.php, i just set the seconds to “600″, 10 minutes, which works fine for me. I guess it was so simple that no one had bothered to mention it anywhere! But that’s all I needed =)

Anja » That can only be done on the client side unless WP use session cookies.

Hi, can this fix my problem – That public computers will have access to my password-protected posts because of the cookie?

I’d just like the cookie to be deleted when the browser is closed I guess.

Cheers =)

WP was converting single quotes into ticks. Be sure to check for this.
