How to Password Protect a Wordpress Site, Categories & Posts/Pages

[@DianaMayeDesigns]

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed. I needed to be able to protect a series of pages on the blog for merchants and this really helped me. Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this video.

[@WadeMcMaster]

No problem Diana! I appreciate the positive feedback, always makes me smile :) have a great day.

This is simply the BEST tutorial I have ever viewed on protecting posts and pages. Greetings from your new subscriber in Scotland.

Finally someone noticed hahah, thank you

[@samantha971]

hello nice explanation, forgive me the login I find it too high, through the plugin editor is it possible to bring the password space further down?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you. I would say CSS would be the best way to go about it. It may be complicated though, but adding a margin at the top would do it. I hope this isn't too confusing: If the password field is a div with the id 'password' you could do something like this to move it down 200 px (using WordPress Theme customizer - custom CSS field in the bottom left menu): #password {margin-top: 200px !important;} That's how I would do it anyway, not the most userfriendly solution but I think that would be the easiest way.

Can I customize the WordPress logo on the password screen to be my own logo?

[@WadeMcMaster]

You definitwly can, however Ive never personally done it. But ill look into ut and make a video :)

[@daveswitzerland4442]

Wow thank you, this Video helped me so much. I hope the plugin still exists and will be maintained, but ok, it's a Pro Plugin. Good!

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thats a good thing about pro software, because its backed financially.it will more likely stay updated as the conpanies are typically motivated to keep making more money. Thank you for watching the video!

Can I redirect lock screen page to a page other than the homepage?

[@WadeMcMaster]

That's a good question. I'd have to do some digging to find out. I don't think these plugins do that however, you can set up private pages or some kind of simple membership plugin and then there are login redirection plugins you could use. That's a bit of a process but doable... You can try Simp[le WP Membership (which is free in the WP plugin repository) and something like 'Peters Login redirect'. But I haven't done this personally so I can give you exact instructions

[@lessonplan]

Thank you sir 😊

[@Niallphillips]

Is there a way to style that password page?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I don't know sorry - if its the password protected for the whole website - maybe a WP Login customizer plugin could affect it?

[@Niallphillips]

Is okay, I got it thanks

[@rossshannon1]

@@Niallphillips hi, i have been looking for a while now on how to customise the password page, could you tell me how you done this please?

[@Gamer_blox0001]

i cant use plugins... or get the plugins, how to really free get workable plugins for wordpress.

[@WadeMcMaster]

Hey mate! Are you saying you can’t install plugins? Is it an error? You can password Wordpress pages up without a plug-in. In the video I show you how at some stage in the page/post editor

[@Gamer_blox0001]

@Brett Watts thanks so much, it's working! I just needed paying to use plugins

[@itsaliqasim8909]
