Hi guys.
I have vendors that would like to create products but would like to password protect some of these as they only want certain clients to be able to access them. I can do it from the backend as admin but in the vendor dashboard, I do not see this capability. Can this be done for vendors?
Thank you.

Hi Anthony,
There is currently no specific feature for this in the plugin.
I think it would depend on how the password protect plugin you are using works. Can it work through a product meta value? If so, I think it could be added to each vendor's dashboard by using the ACF plugin: https://marketkingplugin.com/docs/adding-editable-product-fields-with-acf-in-marketking/
Please let me know what plugin you're using for the password protection and we can check / ask their team.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Thanks for getting back to me.
I don't think I have a specific plugin that allows this.
I can just see that password locking is available in the products tab when i go to quick edit.
Please see screenshot attached.

Thank you for clarifying,
I believe I was able to write a code snippet to make this work:

You can add the above code to the functions.php of the site or to any snippets plugin.
Vendors will then have a password protect field here when editing a product:

Hi guys.
The password protection was working fine but it has stopped working.
It won't even work when I edit it in the products tab in wordpress.
Can you have a look at this please.
Thank you.

This seems to be working fine again.

Hi Anthony,
Going to your site here to the snippets list:
https://flexitime.ie/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpcode
I notice that the password protection snippet is disabled:
Have you tried enabling it here, or is there any specific reason it was disabled?
Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan.
I tried that snippet but products were not been protected so I disabled it again.
Is their any adjustment we can make to this snippet?
Thank you.

I tried testing that by activating the snippet. Then I created a product with a password through the dashboard:
When going to that product, I am able to see it as password protected:

Yeah I think when im logged in that it appears that it is not working but when I log out the password protection is working.
Thanks for that.
