Whitelist IP Address

The Whitelist IP Address feature in Password Protected allows you to specify trusted IP addresses that can access your password-protected content without entering a password. This feature enhances the security of your WordPress site by blocking unauthorized access attempts from other sources.

NOTE: The Whitelist IP Address feature is also available in the free versions of Password Protected.

How to use the Whitelist IP Address feature:

• Make sure you have Password Protected installed and activated on your WordPress site.

• Go to the WordPress admin dashboard and click “Password Protected” in the left menu.

• Go to the “General” tab and scroll to the “Allow IP Addresses” section.

• Under the Allow IP Addresses option, enter the IP addresses you want to whitelist, with one IP address per line.

• Save the changes and enjoy the Whitelist IP Address feature.

NOTE: If you leave the Allow IP Addresses option blank, the Whitelist IP Address feature will not restrict access based on IP addresses.

You can also view the IP addresses that have attempted to access your site or content in the Password Attempt Logs page.
