If you’ve been using our PPWP Pro plugin with MemberPress plugin, you might notice an inconsistency: the ‘Password Protection’ column doesn’t appear under the Memberships section of MemberPress, even though it displays correctly on other custom post types.
Interestingly, the ‘Protect’ link does appear under each Membership item as expected, as well as on the MemberPress post itself. This suggests that the functionality is working, but the column display issue is specific to the Memberships section.
In this post, we’ll provide the solution to ensure the Password Protection column displays consistently across MemberPress Memberships and other post types.
- Navigate to our PPWP settings, add the MemberPress Memberships post type to the Post Type Protection section, and remember to press the ‘Save Changes‘ button.
After completing this step, you will see the ‘Protect’ option of our plugin appear on each Membership posts.
2. To make the ‘Password Protection’ column appear, simply add the following code to your child theme’s functions.php file, or use the Code Snippets plugin to add it:
// Override the MemberPress columns method and add default post-related columns
function override_memberpress_columns($columns) {
$default_columns = [
'pda_password_protection' => esc_html__('Password Protection', 'default'),
];
$columns = array_merge($columns, $default_columns);
return $columns;
}
// Add the overridden hook for MemberPress memberships columns
add_filter('mepr-admin-memberships-columns', 'override_memberpress_columns');
