[Support request] How to change text in password protected page

[anabella]

Hi. On the password protected page, I need to change the text: instead of having the default “this content is password protected. To view it please enter the password below”, I need it to say “send me an email at example@myemail.com and I will give you the password”

Is there an easy way of achieving that?
Thanks

Hi there,

see my reply here:

I would suggest trying the Block Element method to insert your custom message. Let me know

Thanks David.
I am trying the Block Element method but it’s not working.

1. I created the block by going to Elements > Create new > Block > I added my content. Then > location: I left that empty > Element type: Hook. The URL looks like this: /post.php?post=2402&action=edit&lang=es
I am assuming that 2402 is the ID of the block element?

2. The I added your code using the plugin Code Snippets:
add_filter( ‘generate_element_display’, function( $display, $element_id ) {
if ( 2402 === $element_id && !empty($post->post_password) ) {
$display = true;
}

return $display;
}, 10, 2 );

Could you please let me know what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks!

1. correct 2402 is the ID.
What Hook did you select ?

In the HOOK NAME drop-down, I tried all the options that are in the CONTENT section (so, inside_site_container, site_container, before_main_content, etc). Unfortunately none of them worked.

Ok, so change the Element Type to: Page Hero
And set the Display Rules to All Posts and All Pages ( or wherever you’re using password protects ).
Then change the snippet to:

add_filter( 'generate_element_display', function( $display, $element_id ) {
    if ( 100 === $element_id && empty($post->post_password) ) {
        $display = false;
    }

    return $display;
}, 10, 2 );

That way the element is set to show everywhere, and snippet will remove it if there is NO password on the post.
