<p>Have you had to make a working project publicly accessible for your client, yet still have to keep<br />
the site “private” to the general public?</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://demo.zanematthew.com/client-access/" rel="nofollow ugc">Demo</a></strong></p>
<p>Normally you’ll quickly hack in an allowed IP list, server-side password (htpasswd), etc. Why hack this in? With Client Access you can take the professional approach. Use a WordPress plugin to allow specific IPs, or those with the universal password the ability to access the work in progress.</p>
<h4>Allow by IP</h4>
<p>Once enabled via the settings tab, you can add a list of IPs to the textarea. These IP addresses are the <em>only</em> IP addresses that are allowed. Additionally you can add a comment per IP to better detail each entry.</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide a list of IPs that are allowed</li>
<li>Comments are allowed for IPs</li>
<li>Display a content message</li>
<li>Display a footer message</li>
<li>All IPs are validated against the latest IP protocols</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>// Office at 123 Main street
192.168.0.1

// My localhost
127.0.0.1

// Ana
123.456.789
</code></pre>
<h4>Allow by Universal Password</h4>
<p>Once enabled via the settings tab, you can create a universal password that is <em>shared</em> with all users. No user name is required.</p>
<p>Anyone that visits the website while this is enabled will see the default message you’ve added. The site will only be accessible to users that you have shared out the password with.</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide a universal password</li>
<li>Set an expire time</li>
<li>Display a content message</li>
<li>Display a footer message</li>
</ul>
<h4>Allow By Role</h4>
<p>Allow by role of choice.</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose any registered role</li>
<li>Display a content message</li>
<li>Display a footer message</li>
</ul>

Client Access

Let your client see their work in progress.

<p>WPCore is a tool that allows you to manage collections of WordPress plugins and then quickly install them on any WordPress site. You can generate your collections at https://wpcore.com and then import them to your WordPress site by copying and pasting your unique collection key in WordPress.</p>


WPCore Plugin Manager

This plugin works by configuring the list of plugins on the developer's website, which then provides a code you can enter in the plugin's screen on your own website to retrieve the list. It is based on the tgmpa library, which contains a bug that causes an error message during some plugin installs, but the install still works so that's just an irritant.

The main problem is it's difficult to configure the list of plugins on the developer's website. The search function works very poorly, and the list of plugins is displayed in a space-wasting, unsorted way, making it hard to determine whether you have added all the plugins you need. There also doesn't seem to be a distinction between plugins that should just be installed, versus installed and activated.

Rather than a key to reference information on their website, it would actually be more convenient to have a field to paste in a list of the desired plugins. This is a bit too elaborate.

Plugin works okay, has one error, website is buggy


Love this plugin! I only use the free version and secretly wish it allowed up to 5 lists. But either way...thanks for making this!



Also wish it could install themes as well.


Clever idea! Great for quickly installing plugins

Create plugin collections and install them in one click on any WordPress site.
