Password Protection with Shareable Links is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance the security of your content. With Password Protection with Shareable Links, you can protect any post, page, or custom content type with a password. Additionally, the plugin generates encrypted links that provide direct access to your protected content, bypassing the need for manual password entry.
To ensure functionality and security, the plugin disables caching on protected content, making sure the password gate displays correctly and updated content is served as expected.
Key Features: 
– The wp-admin page is not protected and remains accessible for login at all times. 
– Logged-in admins can always view all normal pages without restrictions. 
– Feed access is also restricted, aligning with the intention to prevent unauthorized external access to the site’s content.
For a hands-on test of the plugin, visit the <a href="https://password-protection-shareable-links.plugiplugi.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">test installation</a> (password: <code>1234</code>). Alternatively, access a protected page directly with a shareable link: <a href="https://password-protection-shareable-links.plugiplugi.com/2024/10/25/hello-world/?password=UGxmb1l4NlJoWEM2dFJ3aEZ5Y0wrUT09" rel="nofollow ugc">Direct Access Link</a> (Please use incognito mode or clear cookies if the password was previously entered).

Password Protection with Shareable Links


This plugin was a game-changer for our family-only blog! We needed a simple yet secure way to share updates with just parents and grandparents, and it worked perfectly. The ability to create shareable, password-protected links made it easy for non-tech-savvy family members to access without hassle. It’s lightweight, effective, and exactly what we needed. Highly recommended!


Perfect for Private Family Blogs

This plugin allows you to protect your WordPress content with a password and share access to it through encrypted links.

This plugin adds a set of social buttons to your website, and includes craft-related social sites like Ravelry, Etsy, Craftsy and Pinterest as well as other major social networks, including WhatsApp. Support for sharing to WhatsApp is also provided on mobile devices. You can choose from nine different button styles to match your theme. You can have the share buttons automatically added to the top or bottom of each post, and can position the link buttons using either a widget, a shortcode or a template action hook.
You can use the share button and link button functions either separately, or together:
Share Button mode allows you to put a set of buttons at the top or bottom of each post. Each button will share that post with that particular service. I.e., clicking the facebook icon will open a window for the user to share your post on their Facebook page. Not all services support sharing, for instance, you can’t share via Etsy or Craftsy.
Link Button mode lets you configure the buttons to link directly you your profiles on the social networks. I.e. clicking the facebook icon will take the user to your facebook page, clicking the Etsy icon will take them to your Etsy shop. These are designed to be included in either your header, sidebars or footer, as they are not specific to a post. These can be easily included by adding the Social Link Button widget to the area where you want the buttons to appear.
Supported social services include:
<ul>
<li>Craftinoo (link only)</li>
<li>Craftsy (link only)</li>
<li>Dawanda (link only)</li>
<li>Digg</li>
<li>Ebay (link only)</li>
<li>Email (share only)</li>
<li>Etsy (link only)</li>
<li>Facebook</li>
<li>Flickr (link only)</li>
<li>Google+</li>
<li>Instagram (link only)</li>
<li>LinkedIn</li>
<li>Pinterest</li>
<li>Ravelry</li>
<li>Reddit</li>
<li>Specific Feeds (link only)</li>
<li>Stumble Upon</li>
<li>Tumblr</li>
<li>Twitter</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
<li>VK</li>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>WhatApp (share only, only on mobile)</li>
<li>Xing</li>
</ul>
You can also choose exactly which services you want separately for each mode, so you can can have Share Buttons for Ravelry, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Email, but have Link Buttons for Google+, Craftsy, Pinterest and your Etsy shop.
