How to Protect an Article with a Password in Joomla?

Sometimes you have an important page that you don't want every visitor to your site to have access to. The first thing that comes to mind is to make this page accessible only to members, but then you realize that you don't want all your members to have access to this page. Just a few members. So you need an extra level of security on that page. That extra level of security means protecting the site with a "password".

This extension will help you to password protect a Joomla article.

    Is there any way to modify the language on the page? The text is "Press correct password to read post". This is confusing as there is nothing to press. It should read type or enter and there should be a clear box to fill in the password, which is not easily viewable or eminently clear at a glance. And unlock should say something like submit or click here. I'm guessing this is in the code, and not editable, but just checking, thank you!

      @Jennifer Stephenson You can edit/replace these phrases from the language pack of this plugin: administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_content_password.ini

      About the password input box, it may be affected by the template you are using. If possible, please give me the URL of the article where you put this plugin, I will make it more prominent🙂

OK getting back to looking at my website

Have got two off canvas menus working (1. for tools and 2. for main menu)

However I can only get the Main menu to display the first level of menu items.

Have you any suggestions for getting the sub menu items to display ?
N.B. the menu item with sub menu items does display a down arrow, but trying to click on it only display the item at the main menu level.

Hello, it doesn't seem to work, there are more the 4000 k2 articles and like a 120 are imported.
What is wrong?
That imported page keeps on saying this, but nothing further is happening...

I found a few bugs:

1. The "radio buttons" extra field doesn't transfer the values ​​in the additional field, e.g., "yes" or "no," and only enters certain values ​​into the #__fields_values ​​database.

2. The "textarea" extra field with the "Use editor" option checked converts to "textarea" when it should be "editor."

3. In K2, the extra field group is assigned in the category. In Joomla Articles, the category is assigned in the extra field. It would be nice if this were automatically completed. A checkbox could be added if someone doesn't want this option.
