Bypass Links for Individual Posts

Estimated reading: 3 minutes 1599 views

A Bypass Link for Individual Posts allows you to selectively provide unrestricted access to specific posts or pages, bypassing password protection. Simply enable the Bypass Link for the desired post, and users can access that particular content without a password, while the rest of the site remains securely protected.

How to Access and Enable Bypass Link for Individual Posts:

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.
  • Click on the “Content Protection” tab in the top navigation.
  • In the section below, select “Post Type Protection” on the subtab, enable individual protection for the Post, and click “Save Changes.”
  • Navigate to Posts > All Posts.
  • Select the post you want to protect individually, then click Edit.
  • Enable Password Protection in the settings below and click Save Changes to activate the protection.
  • Set the Password: Create a password that users must enter to unlock the protected content on the post.
  • 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 the Bypass Link and paste it into your browser. It will bypass the password protection step.
  • You now have access to the page protected under the Individual settings.

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.
