hi,

in admin> options> gallery, how the list of unprotected pages is determined?
for example, in zenpage theme the pages album, images, news, pages, password and search are unprotected.

what is the reason ?

Probably because you checked the option for those pages at some time?

Themes typically do not provide default settings for protected pages--nothing in the Zenpage theme does.

Normally those standard scripts you list would not even show up in the list. So since they do, someone sometime set their option.

sorry, my explanations were not clear.
with the theme zenpage, the pages album, images, news, pages, password and search are not mentioned in the list of pages.
as the pages are not in the list, I can not protect them.

the problem is the same on other themes (eg zpardoise): pages mentioned above are not in the list of pages to protect.

Ok, I understand. You protect those pages by setting passwords on them. The gallery protected pages settings is to override gallery passwords and let some pages, such as the registration page be displayed.
