Hi Thomas,
I hope you are well today and thanks for posting here.
My problem is, the opening and closing p tags are displayed. How to make them render like html?
I could confirm the issue on my test site using latest version of Sparkling theme therefore i have notified the theme developer about this so that it can be fixed.
In the meanwhile you can fix it by using the attached small plugin.
If there is any way I can customize the text displayed as well, that would be awesome. Much googling only shows old articles, predating the way WP handles password pages now.
You can change it by developing the code using the filter the_password_form the same way as i did in the attached plugin code.
Best Regards,
Movin
