Only Display Field Group if Page is Password Protected

On a site I’m working on, I’d like the ability to create some custom content that appears above the Password form on a Password Protected page. My hope is to create a field group that has a WYSIWYG field that only appears (in the admin) if a page is set to be Password Protected.

I have the code needed to modify the password form, so I’d like to include a get_field call to a field that sets some introductory text prior to outputting the form, but I’d rather the field group not appear in the admin for non-password pages.

Any ideas?

Hi @jsites

An idea would be to create a set of custom location rules to target the password protected pages: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/custom-location-rules/

I was able to solve this with the following code:

/* SHOW FIELD SET ON PASSWORD PROTECTED PAGES */
add_filter('acf/location/rule_types', 'acf_location_rules_types');

function acf_location_rules_types( $choices ) {
	
  $choices['Post']['visibility'] = 'Post Visibility';

  return $choices;
  
}

add_filter('acf/location/rule_values/visibility', 'acf_location_rules_values_visibility');

function acf_location_rules_values_visibility( $choices ) {

  //var_dump($choices);
  $choices['password'] = 'Password Protected';

  return $choices;
}

add_filter('acf/location/rule_match/visibility', 'acf_location_rules_match_visibility', 10, 3);
function acf_location_rules_match_visibility( $match, $rule, $options )
{
  $the_post = get_post($options->post_id);
  $pw = $the_post->post_password;
  if(isset($pw)){
    if(!empty($pw)){
      $match = true;
    }
  }else{
    $match = false;
  }

  return $match;
}
