A Bypass Link for Individual Pages enables you to grant instant access to specific pages while bypassing password protection. Just set up the Bypass Link for the chosen page, and users can access it without a password, while the rest of your site stays securely locked.

Note: This feature is exclusively available in the Pro version of Password Protected. Get the Password Protected Pro now.

How to Access and Enable Bypass Link for Individual Pages:

Before accessing this feature, you must have installed and activated Password Protected Pro. If you’ve already done that, here’s how you can access and enable this functionality:

Go to the WordPress admin dashboard.
Click on the “Password Protected” plugin from the side menu.

Select the “Content Protection” tab in the upper navigation.

In the section below, choose “Post Type Protection” from the subtab, activate individual protection for the Page, and click “Save Changes.”

Navigate to Pages > All Pages.

Select the page you want to protect individually, then click on Edit.

Enable Password Protection in the settings below and select ‘Save Changes’ to activate it.

Set the Password: Create a password that users must enter to unlock the protected content on the page.
Define the Usage Limit: Choose a password Usage Limit. If you wish to allow unlimited uses, leave this field blank.
Set Expiry Date: Specify an Expiry Date for the password. The password will automatically expire after the selected date.
Manage Password Status: Each password will have a status: Activate, Deactivate, or Expired, clearly showing which passwords are currently active.
Bypass Link: Enable the Bypass Link option to generate an authorized access link, allowing users to access the protected content directly without entering the password.
Redirect To will redirect you to the selected page within the drop-down. Then, click the Save Password button to apply your changed settings.

Then a table will appear showing relevant details, including the generated password and Bypass Link.

When you access the protected post, you must enter the password.

To access directly, copy and paste the Bypass Link into your browser. It will bypass the password protection step.

You now have access to the page protected under the Individual settings.

Note: If you enable site-wide password protection and users have already entered the site-wide password, they won’t need to enter the password for individual pages.

Understanding the Protection Levels:

The Password Protected WordPress Plugin Pro offers different levels of protection for your content, including site-wide, global, category, and individual post/page protection. When you have multiple protection levels enabled on your site, it’s essential to understand how they work together.

Password Entry:

If you have more than one protection level configured on your site, such as complete site protection and global post/page protection, users only need to enter the password for the highest protection level.

The order of protection levels is as follows: Site > Global > Category > Individual post/page.
