The issue here is that the user wanted to password protect their posts but only for users who are not authors of that post.
Solution:
Unfortunately this isn't possible to do as once there is a password protection on the post from wordpress then all users will need to use the password to access the post.
Problem:
The customer asked how to connect related posts in the same form to add a new post.
Solution:
Guided that this will require the use of a generic field and the custom function attached to the 'cred_save_data' hook and shared the code example.
Solution:
The only way to allow users with a role lesser than Editor to add unfiltered HTML content to post fields is to elevate them to the roles of Editor or Administrator.
For administrators and editors, please note that the unfiltered HTML contents are enabled by default in Post and User Fields.
