A lightweight WordPress plugin that protects your production site with a password layer. When active, visitors see a password page — only those with a valid preview link or the correct password can enter.

Perfect for testing changes on production without exposing unfinished work to clients or the public.

Quick Start

1. Install

Upload aegis-content-flow/ to /wp-content/plugins/ and activate.

2. Configure

Add to wp-config.php:

define('FOUNDY_PREVIEW_ACTIVE', true);      // Enable the layer
define('FOUNDY_PREVIEW_PASSWORD', 'yourpass'); // Optional, default: preview2026

Set FOUNDY_PREVIEW_ACTIVE to false to turn the layer off completely.

3. Use

  • Layer ON: all visitors see a password page
  • Password: enter the password + cookie save 24h
  • Preview links: generate from Settings > Preview Links, share with your client
  • Admin bypass: logged-in admins auto-bypass

Multi-Language Mode (v1.1.0)

Protect only specific language paths while keeping the rest of the site open.

define('FOUNDY_PREVIEW_MODE', 'language_prefix');
define('FOUNDY_PREVIEW_LANG_PREFIXES', serialize(array('/en/', '/cn/')));

With this config:

  • /, /about/, /contact/ → public, no password needed
  • /en/..., /cn/... → protected, password required

Default language prefixes are /en/ and /cn/.

Set mode back to 'all' (or remove the constant) to protect the entire site again.

Features

  • ✅ Toggle via wp-config.php — safe, no accidental exposure
  • ✅ Password protection with cookie
  • ✅ Unlimited preview links, each with custom expiry
  • ✅ Admin auto-bypass when logged in
  • ✅ Crawler detection — search engines still index your site
  • ✅ Admin bar indicator (Preview ON/OFF)
  • ✅ Theme-overridable password template (foundy-preview-password.php in your theme)
  • ✅ Language prefix mode — protect /en/, /cn/, etc. while normal paths remain public

For Clients

Generate a preview link from Settings > Preview Links, send it to your client. No password needed on their end.

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.0+
  • PHP 7.0+
