Description

This plugin will limit access to the site. Only visitors with a cookie token will be able to access the public website. Visitors without the cookie will see a “coming soon” style of page.

You can customise the “coming soon” content, and you can change the way tokens work. Visit yoursite.com/?add_token to receive the token allowing you to see the site. To remove the limited access, simply disable this plugin.

By default, the token is “letmein”. So use these links:
site.com?letmein
site.com?takemeoff

This plugin is useful when you’re developing your site. You can work on your live web server without having your site open to the public.
