[wp-hackers] Feature or bug: Page password protection does not cascade to sub-pages

[Chetan Kunte]

Thanks for the clarification.

I still think it should lock child pages too, or else, I would simply
not list pages as child pages. I would make the unlocked pages as
parent pages. (It is like when you lock a folder, you lock all
subfolders under too on any OS, for example.)
