Lock Content with Ease

WP Page Password Protector is a lightweight solution for limiting access to specific WordPress content. Whether you have exclusive subscriber content, private client proofs, or internal team documents, this plugin lets you lock any individual page or post with a unique password directly from the editor.

Key Features

Simple, effective content restriction tools:

Per-Page Protection

Set a unique password for any page or post. Only users who know the specific code can view that content.

Simple Editor Interface

Adds a convenient “Password Protection” box directly to your post editor sidebar. No need to visit complex settings pages.

Session Security

Once a user enters the correct password, their access is remembered for their browser session. No annoying repeated logins.

Instant Content Hiding

Content is completely hidden from the frontend code until unlocked. It’s not just a visual overlay; the HTML isn’t rendered.

Clean Design

The frontend password form is simple, modern, and automatically inherits your theme’s styling for a seamless look.

Lightweight Code

Minimal impact on performance. The plugin only runs check logic on protected pages, keeping your site fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this different from WordPress built-in password visibility?

Yes. While similar, this plugin provides a more dedicated interface and often handles session storage differently, ensuring a smoother user experience, especially on cached sites where native password protection sometimes conflicts.

Can I lock the whole site?

No, this plugin is designed for individual page/post protection. If you need whole-site privacy, a “Maintenance Mode” or “Coming Soon” plugin would be better.

Can I have multiple passwords for one page?

The free version supports a single password per page. The Pro version (upcoming) will support multiple passwords and user-role based unlocking.

Does it work on Custom Post Types?

Yes! It works on Pages, Posts, and most Custom Post Types (like Portfolio items or Products) commonly used in themes.
