post_password_required() not recognizing cookie set with correct password

Figured it out!

The new version of WordPress (3.4) changed the way the password protected pages worked.

This should work for you now:

    <?php if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
    <form method="post" action="/wp-login.php?action=postpass">
        <p>This content is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:</p>
        <input type="password" style="margin:10px 0;" size="20" id="pwbox-<?php the_ID(); ?>" name="post_password"/></label><br/>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit"/></p>
    </form>
<?php } else { ?>
    // echo out all of the post content
<?php } ?>

I changed your line “/wp-pass.php” to the new “wp-login.php?action=postpass” way.
