Learn How to Encrypt /Protect WordPress Content

Putting a password on a WordPress site allows you to restrict access to the content of the site to those who only have the password. As you know, by default there is the ability to encrypt or Protect WordPress Content and posts, and you can limit the ability to see posts in WordPress by providing a password for users who want to view the post. do. But if you want to encrypt the whole site, this will not be possible for you.

In this tutorial from the host knowledge base, I am going to introduce a plugin to put a password on a WordPress site. Using this tutorial, you will be able to set a password on the entire content of the site and allow the site to be viewed only by those who have the password. 

Learning to put a password on a WordPress site

The password protection plugin on the WordPress site that I am going to introduce has been registered in the WordPress repository under the name Password Protected, and so far it has managed to get more than 120,000 active installations using this plugin to be able to put a password on the site. You can provide site content only to those who have the password to view the site. To use this plugin, install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site.

Put a password and Encrypt or Protect WordPress content

Password protection status

By activating this option, the encryption feature on WordPress is activated and any user who intends to view the site will be asked to enter the password to view the website after being redirected to the desired link. If the password was entered correctly, he can see the site, otherwise he will not be able to see the site. If at any time you want to allow users to view the WordPress site without the need to use a password, just uncheck this option and save the settings until the password request step to view.

Protected Permissions

Using this option, you can specify who can view the site without having to enter a password. Here you can enable or disable the ability to view the site for site administrators, users who are logged in to your account, as well as the ability to view the site through the WordPress feed .

New password

Using this section, you can choose the password you want to view the site. If you also wanted to change the password, just enter your desired password in these two fields to change the password for viewing the WordPress site.

Allow IP Addresses

Using this section, you can also provide the possibility of viewing the WordPress site that you put the password on for some users through the WordPress IP so that they do not need to enter the password to view the site in WordPress.

Cache Issue

If you are using WordPress cache to increase the speed of WordPress , sometimes this plugin may not work properly due to site caching and the site pages will be displayed to users who have already entered the password, so it is necessary to disable cache on this premises. To disable the cache in WordPress for this plugin, just copy the code you see in the cookies field and enter it in the WordPress cache plugin you are using to disable this type of cache in WordPress.

Now, as you can see in the picture and in the address bar, try to create your post. It will ask for the password to enter the site to view the page. If you enter the correct password then you will be able to see the post. That means your WordPress content is protected.
