Opis

Restrict Website Access lets you protect your entire WordPress site with a password-based access screen. It is useful when a site is private, under development, in staging, or temporarily not intended for public access.

Key features:

  • Password protection for the entire public-facing website.
  • Simple setup with no coding required.
  • Useful for private, staging, and under-development websites.
  • Editable access-screen content and layout options.
  • Lightweight interface with straightforward settings.

Logged-in WordPress users can continue working in the dashboard while public visitors are shown the password screen when protection is enabled.
