Code For Broke

<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>One-Click Toggle – Enable or disable login requirement instantly from the admin bar</li>
<li>REST API Protection – Configurable authentication requirement for REST API endpoints</li>
<li>Automatic Cache Clearing – Automatically clears popular caching plugins when toggling protection</li>
<li>Admin Bar Status Indicator – Always see at a glance whether login is required</li>
<li>Simple Settings Page – Easy-to-use settings interface</li>
<li>Admin Override – Administrators always have access, even when login is required</li>
<li>Smart Redirects – Users are redirected to login and then back to their intended page</li>
<li>Selective Endpoint Access – Allow specific REST API endpoints for forms and authentication</li>
<li>Cache Compatibility – Works with WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, and more</li>
<li>No Configuration Needed – Works perfectly out of the box</li>
<li>Lightweight – Minimal impact on site performance</li>
<li>Translation Ready – Fully internationalized and ready for translation</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Click the lock icon in the admin bar to toggle login requirement</li>
<li>That’s it! Your site is now protected</li>
</ol>
When enabled, all visitors must log in to view any page on your site. Administrators can quickly toggle this on or off from anywhere on the site using the admin bar.
