This is a very funny click from the Popcorn Comedy nights (www.youtube.com/user/PopcornComedy#play/all), in this particular instance at the Doodle Bar (www.thedoodlebar.com). As part of the Popcorn Comdey evening they show a number of clips from people that post them, and random stuff from the web, as well as live acts. Very. very funny!

We had the opening of the Doodle Bar/ cafe downstairs the other night. Everyone put in a sterling effort to get everything up and running for squint and it was a fun night for all!

The general idea is everyone can draw everywhere (doodle). It’s open to all, and can be booked for events including film viewing. We also do a killer coffee for those connoisseurs amongst you; as a good one is hard to find in London.

WordPress has a function that allows you to password protect your posts. If you want to customize this password message that people get there are a couple of ways of doing it.

The first is modifying the wp-inlcudes/post-template.php file. You can search through this for the text “password protected” in a text editor or HTML editor like Dreamweaver. Then edit the text accordingly. The only issue with this is remembering to replace it again when you upgrade WordPress as this file will be over-written.

Perhaps a better solution then is to use the wp-content/themes/yourtheme/functions.php file. You can copy and paste the code below into this file at the end. Just put in a return, copy and paste and upload. This will then insert your custom text into password protect message field.

function replace_the_password_form($content) {
  global $post;
  // if there's a password and it doesn't match the cookie
  if ( !empty($post->post_password) && stripslashes($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_'.COOKIEHASH])!=$post->post_password ) {
    $output = '

    <form action="'.get_option('siteurl').'/wp-pass.php" method="post">
      '.__("This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:").'

        <label for="post_password">Password:</label>
        <input name="post_password" class="input" type="password" size="20" />
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" class="button" value="'.__("Submit").'" />

    </form>

    ';
    return $output;
  }
  else return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content','replace_the_password_form');

Depending on what your function.php file is you may also need to put a <?php before this code and a ?> after within your HTML editor. In short, check the syntax is correct.

Now change the text within this to whatever you like and hey presto; a custom password message.
