Access Code Lite lets you require a simple URL parameter code (e.g. ‘?access_code=enter123’) before visitors can view your site. 
Simply share the private access link (e.g. https://example.com?access_code=enter123) that the plugin generates to any user who you wish to grant access. 
Ideal for development, staging, previews, or private sharing without complex authentication.
Features: 
– Set a custom access code from the plugin settings page. 
– Code can be 3–12 characters, letters and numbers only. 
– Session persistence (default): visitors only need to enter the code once per visit. 
– Logged-in users, WordPress login, password reset, admin, AJAX, and cron are always allowed.
Important: Access Code Lite is not a security plugin. 
It does not encrypt, hide, or protect sensitive data. It only adds a simple URL parameter check and should be used for low-risk scenarios like development, staging, or preview access. 
Do not rely on this plugin to secure private or confidential information.
More persistence options (cookies, tokens, etc.) will be added in future versions.

PLX Multi-Environments manages separate Development, Staging, and Production environments directly from within the WordPress Admin screen.
Once the separate configuration files have been installed and your existing wp-config.php settings have been backed up 
you\’re then free to enter each of your environments database settings. When you push your files between servers you no 
longer need to edit the configuration.
Important: Although the plugin will automatically backup your current settings to wp-config.backup.php, we strongly recommend backing up 
your wp-config.php file before completing the plugin installation.
