I'd like to hide the sidebar of my page when the page is password protected and the password has not yet been entered.

I've searched for a while and haven't found any condition I could use. Maybe get_post_status could help, but still, I wouldn't know when the user has entered the password and can see the full page.

• Please edit your question to clarify. Private posts are not the same thing as password-required posts. Which are you after? – Chip Bennett Commented Mar 11, 2014 at 16:14
• Sorry, seems that when I wrote the article I was mixing up password required and private. Modified the question to make it easier to understand. – Fredy31 Commented Mar 11, 2014 at 17:08

You're after post_password_required():

<?php if ( ! ( $post->post_password && post_password_required() ) ) get_sidebar() ?>
