The WordPress Password Protected Categories plugin serves as a protective layer for entire categories on your WordPress site. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
- Protection of Entire Categories: Allows for the protection of entire categories, including subcategories and posts within those categories, by setting up passwords for each category.
- Ease of Setup: Provides a quick and simple setup process, making it easy to protect specific categories without making the entire site private.
- Multi-Post Type Support: Supports various post types in WordPress, extending its protection functionality to portfolios, events, products, pages, and any custom post types you’ve created.
- Private Categories: Offers the option to create ‘Internal’ categories that are exclusively visible to Administrators or Editors, essentially creating private categories accessible only to specific roles.
- SEO Friendly: Ensures that password-protected categories and their contained posts remain hidden from search engine indexing, maintaining their privacy and exclusion from search results.
- Custom Login Page: Provides visitors with a login page and sidebar, guiding them to log in to access the specific category associated with the entered password.
- User-Friendly Access: Automatically unlocks all posts within a password-protected category once a visitor enters the correct password. Subcategories are also unlocked without the need for re-entering passwords for each individual post.
This plugin offers a user-friendly approach to protecting categories and their contents on a WordPress website, ensuring privacy and access control while allowing for seamless navigation for authorized users once they’ve entered the required passwords.
