Using the Gallery Password Box in a Sunshine theme

This article may be outdated and referencing Sunshine Photo Cart 2. Documentation articles are currently being updated and hope to be fully accurate very soon. Apologies for any confusion.

Traditionally with WordPress, you have to visit a page/post (or in our case a gallery) and then see the password prompt. We created the Gallery Password Box widget to let you put a simple form either inside a Sunshine theme (or anywhere in your custom WordPress theme)

Users simply need to enter a password to any gallery and, if valid, will be taken directly to the gallery and through the password requirement to see the photos.

Step 1

Go to Sunshine > Settings > Design

Step 2

Check the option to enable the Gallery Password Box.

Step 3

The Gallery Password Box will be added to the sidebar of your Sunshine theme (Sunshine 2013 used in the screenshot)
