Lock down entire content categories with passwords or user roles.
Lock down entire content categories with passwords or user roles.
This plugin adds bulk access control to a site's content structure. It is designed for site owners who need to create private sections—such as exclusive blogs, client portfolios, or invite-only product listings—without building a complex membership system. It applies protection at the category level, securing all associated posts and sub-categories at once.
Password, User, and Role Protection: Choose to lock a category with one or more passwords, or restrict it to specific logged-in users or user roles (e.g., administrators or subscribers). Works with Custom Content: Protects standard posts and pages, plus custom post types like products, events, and portfolios that use category-style taxonomies. Centralized Access: Visitors can log in from a single page using a shortcode; entering a correct password redirects them to the appropriate protected category. Search Engine Exclusion: Automatically adds 'noindex' tags and removes protected categories and their content from XML sitemaps to prevent search engine indexing. Inheritance for Sub-categories: Protection settings automatically cascade to all sub-categories, though you can override this for individual sub-categories if needed.
