if you are an admin or have the access the galleries will not ask you for a password, all other users will be presented with the login form.
I tried logout, clearing cookies & caches, change the theme to default (twenty twelve). Galleries don’t ask passwords. Login form at “login page” works right. But, when I be there by “direct link” or “typing URL”, Gallery Does not ask a password (the word “Protected” before the page title is displayed).
if you want to disable the behavior add this code in your functions.php file or in a plugin.
It’s opposite. I want enable that.
It used to ask the password. But now, Does not.
I want galleries to ask the passwords and not to open without login, even if for someone who know the gallery’s URL.
adding some information.
I down-date the plugin one by one. I found that “Ver3.4” works right (the galleries ask a password). After 3.4 does not.
