Comments on Password Protected Pages

[wochurch]

I have created a password-protected page here:
http://www.wochurch.org/get-connected/volunteer-login/cq-volunteer-team/

I would like to have a comments section on that page. But when I view the page, it says “This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.” Do you know how I can make this show up?

Hi,
Please open to edit comments.php file.
Find this code:-

?>
	<div id="comments">
	<?php
	    $req = get_option('require_name_email'); // Checks if fields are required.
	    if ( 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) )
	        die ( 'Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!' );
	    if ( ! empty($post->post_password) ) :
	        if ( $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password ) :
	?>
		<div class="nopassword"><?php _e("This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.", "swiftframework"); ?></div>
	</div><!-- .comments -->
	<?php
	        return;
	    endif;
	endif;

Change with:-

?>
	<div id="comments">
	<?php
	    $req = get_option('require_name_email'); // Checks if fields are required.
	    if ( 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) )
	        die ( 'Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!' );

Thanks
