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.

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!

The “original” share buttons automatically transmit data of your visitors to the social network sites as soon as they visit your website. They do not need to click on a share button for this and therefore have no choice, if they want their data to be send. The German computer magazine c’t has developed “Shariff” <code>(ʃɛɹɪf)</code> that follows the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation (EU) 2016/679). This plugin adapts the Shariff concept and provides an easy to use solution for WordPress. We currently support 
31 services in 25 languages: 
Bitcoin, Bluesky, Buffer, Diaspora, Facebook, Flipboard, Info, Linkedin, 
mailto, Mastodon, Mewe, Mix, Odnoklassniki, Patreon, Paypal, Paypal.me, 
Pinterest, Pocket, Printer, Reddit, RSS, SMS, Telegram, Threema, Tumblr,

You can automatically add share buttons to posts, pages, the main blog page, product sites and many more as well as use it as a widget or add the shortcode <code>[shariff]</code> manually to your pages or themes.
