Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/castlegateit/cgit-wp-password-protection/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Declares an update source (https://github.com/castlegateit/cgit-wp-password-protection), so updates arrive through the plugin's own updater.

When active, the plugin provides four modes: 1. Disabled: Access to the site is not restricted. 2. WordPress user account: Access to the site is restricted to logged in users. 3. Password: Access to the site is restricted to users who enter a single, common password. 4. Password or WordPress user account: Access to the site is restricted to logged in users or users who enter a single, common password. When the third or fourth option is selected, users will need to re-enter the common password after 24 hours. Exceptions Exceptions are made for a few URLs and endpoints: Cron requests (wp-cron.php) REST API requests (^/wp-json/) License Released under the MIT License. See LICENSE for details.
