Unlike WordPress’s built-in per-post password protection, this plugin protects an entire post type at once from a single settings screen — with either one shared password for everything, or an individual password per post type. #### Features * Choose exactly which post types are protected — every public post type is listed with a toggle, including custom post types. * Two password modes: one shared password for everything, or an individual password per protected post type. * Visitors who enter the correct password stay unlocked for a configurable number of days (cookie-based), instead of being asked every visit. * Changing a password immediately invalidates every visitor’s existing unlock for it — no manual cleanup needed. * Logged-in users who can edit a given post always see it directly, so editing and previewing is never blocked. * Clean, standalone unlock screen that doesn’t depend on your active theme, so it renders consistently even on page-builder sites. * Customize the unlock screen: background color, accent color, an uploaded logo, and an optional secondary button (e.g. « Contact us ») linking anywhere you choose. * Built-in brute-force throttling on the password form. * The REST API and RSS/Atom feeds are gated too, so protected content isn’t readable through either while locked. * Protected post types are automatically excluded from XML sitemaps (core WordPress sitemaps, Yoast SEO, and Rank Math), so they aren’t advertised to search engines. * A small « Protected » indicator appears in the post list table for any post type that’s currently gated, so editors can see it at a glance. * Compatible with full-page caching plugins — protected pages are automatically excluded from the page cache so one visitor’s session is never served to another. * No external requests, no tracking, no bundled third-party services. Development happens in the open on GitHub: https://github.com/bilalkk9/post-type- password-protect #### A note on the « current password » display The Gatekeepr settings screen can show you the current password (hidden by default, behind a « Show » toggle) so you don’t need to reset it if you’ve forgotten it. To make this possible, the password is stored in an encrypted, recoverable form rather than only as a one-way hash. If your workflow requires a password that can never be viewed after saving, simply treat the field as write-only and don’t use the « Show » toggle — the underlying visitor-facing verification always uses a one- way hash regardless. ## Captures d’écrans [⌊Choose which post types are protected, with a clear toggle for each.⌉⌊Choose which post types are protected, with a clear toggle for each.⌉[ Choose which post types are protected, with a clear toggle for each.

Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/gatekeepr` directory, or install the plugin directly through the WordPress « Plugins Add New » screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the « Plugins » screen in WordPress. 3. Go to Settings Password Protect. 4. Check the post types you want to protect, set a password, and click « Update Password». ## FAQ ### Does this replace WordPress’s built-in post password feature? No. WordPress’s native feature protects one post at a time with a password you set per-post. This plugin instead protects every single/detail page of a chosen post type at once, from a single settings screen — with a shared password across all protected types, or a separate password for each one. ### Will search engines index my protected pages? No. While a page is locked, the unlock screen is served with a `noindex` directive instead of the real content. ### What happens if I change the password? Every visitor who was previously unlocked will be asked for the password again on their next visit. This happens automatically — there is nothing to clear manually. ### Does this work with page builders like Elementor? Yes. The gate runs before the page is rendered, so it works regardless of how the page itself was built. ### Does this affect the REST API or RSS feeds? Protected, locked posts have their content and excerpt redacted in both the REST API and RSS/Atom feed output, so the underlying content isn’t exposed through those either. ## Avis Il n’y a aucun avis pour cette extension. ## Contributeurs/contributrices & développeurs/développeuses « Gatekeepr – Password Protect for Post Types » est un logiciel libre.
