<h4>Built-In Protected Members Only Content</h4>
<p>What is Members Only Content, Members Only content allows you to create special content that only your members can see.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>all post in the members-only content area is protected.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Only if a user is logged in they will be able to access, the default access level is a subscriber for all content in the “members-only content” section.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>members-only content does not affect shortcode content restrictions, this feature allows for full content protection.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4>New in 4.5</h4>
<ul>
<li>Present Users who are not logged in with a link to “Register or Login Here”,</li>
<li>Redirect Users to current page after login.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Create a Post or Page or protect existing content.</li>
<li>Place the shortcodes around the content you wish to protect.</li>
</ol>
<p>New Shortcode Options Use With Options</p>
<ul>
<li>display=”Custom text” change the message for none logged in user (default: You Must be Logged in to view this content)</li>
<li>linkto=”/wp-admin/” Link to a specific page, recommended usage would be to use /wp-admin/ without http://www this is very good practice in case if you are using SSL or custom subdomain, Note that this will also disable Auto redirect (default: WordPress Login Page)</li>
<li>linktext=”Click Here” change the text for the link (default: Register or Login Here)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Example Shortcodes</h4>
<pre><code>[membersonly]
Premium Content Here
[/membersonly] 
</code></pre>
<h4>With Options</h4>
<pre><code>[membersonly display="Login To Download" linkto="/wp-admin/" linktext="Login Here"] protected content here [/membersonly] 
</code></pre>
<p>the user will then have to be logged in to view.</p>

<p>Password for WP locks your whole website behind one password. Visitors see a clean, full-screen login screen until they enter the correct password, while your WordPress admin area (wp-admin) stays fully accessible.</p>
<p>It is perfect for sites in development, staging environments, private launches, client previews, or a simple maintenance mode. Setup takes less than a minute and the plugin is completely free.</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Protect the entire front-end of the site with one password.</li>
<li>Modern, responsive login screen with a clean, flat design.</li>
<li>Choose a background image from the WordPress Media Library and display it stretched as a full cover, with a live thumbnail preview in the settings.</li>
<li>Set a custom background color used as a fallback behind the image.</li>
<li>Add your own headings (H2 and H3) to greet or inform visitors.</li>
<li>Cache support: keeps the protection working when a page cache plugin is active (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache and more).</li>
<li>Skip the password for logged-in users with a single switch.</li>
<li>CSRF-protected settings and hardened output escaping.</li>
<li>Available in English, Polish, German and French, and fully translation ready.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>When protection is enabled, every front-end request is checked for a valid access cookie. Visitors without the cookie are shown the login screen. After entering the correct password, a secure cookie is set for 30 days so they are not asked again. The WordPress login and admin panel are never blocked by the plugin.</p>
<h3>Upgrading</h3>
<p>For manual upgrades via FTP, deactivate and reactivate the plugin to ensure it works correctly.</p>
<h3>Translations</h3>
<p>Password for WP ships with English, Polish, German and French translations. Additional languages can be added using the included .po and .mo files in the /languages folder.</p>
