Simple and effective – just what I needed

Easy to install and configure. It seems that the Support service must be good too, because as soon as I had deactivated Password Protected, I was contacted by them enquiring whether I was having problems with that module. The answer is no : it works perfectly. And the only reason I deactivated it is that the website on which it was installed no longer contains any sensitive or confidential information that requires the use of passwords. But I can recommend it to anyone looking for a simple effective way of controlling access to a website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about WordPress content protection.

Can I use Password Protected for multiple use cases at the same time?

Yes. You can password protect the entire WordPress site, categories, WooCommerce products, custom post types, and even password protect partial content. This allows you to secure different areas of your site based on your specific needs.

How do I create a private WooCommerce store or members-only catalog?

Simply password protect individual WooCommerce products, entire product categories, or create private shopping experiences for wholesale customers, members, and VIP buyers.

Can I create unique passwords for different users or groups?

Password Protected Pro allows you to create multiple passwords for the same protected content. You can assign different passwords to clients, customers, employees, students, or event attendees.

Is Password Protected suitable for online courses and training materials?

Yes. You can protect course content, resource libraries, training materials, videos, downloads, and member-only resources without installing a separate LMS or membership plugin.

Can I share private content with clients?

Absolutely. Many agencies, consultants, photographers, and freelancers use Password Protected to securely share portfolios, proposals, client deliverables, and private project pages.

What’s the best way to create an invite-only website or event?

You can create private websites, invite-only events, exclusive communities, member-only resources, and restricted content areas using passwords, usage limits, expiration dates, and bypass links.

Can I protect only specific sections of a page?

Yes. Partial Content Protection allows you to lock specific sections of a page while keeping the rest publicly visible. This is ideal for premium content, course previews, gated downloads, and subscriber-only resources.

Do I need the Pro version to get started?

No. The free version includes entire website protection, Google reCAPTCHA, IP whitelisting, passwordless admin access, and activity reports. You can upgrade to Pro whenever you need advanced access control features.

Can I remove password protection later?
