Password Protect Your Entire Wordpress Website
You can password protect a wordpress website during development so only a client can see it.
Or for your own reason.
Just follow the 5 steps.
1. In the admin panel. Create a new account. That’s the one the visitor will use.
2. Go Under the Settings tab and uncheck “Anyone can register.
3. You can go under Appearance Tab – Theme Functions (functions.php) and add the code below somewhere (if it is at the top of the page, it should be after the <?php and not in between a /* and */) ***Replace the fancy quotes with the right ones
Code
function password_protected() {
if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
auth_redirect();
}
}add_action(’template_redirect’, ‘password_protected’);
add_action(’do_feed’, ‘password_protected’);
It should look like this
4. Go Under the Settings tab -> Discussion, uncheck “Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)” and “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)”
5. In Settings -> Privacy, select “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors” for Blog Visibility.
That’s it your done. now only people with the password can see the website
