Force Login: Breakdown
Force Login is a WordPress plugin which is designed to restrict access to a WordPress site. It prevents non-registered users – such as search engines, bots, and unwanted visitors – from viewing the site’s contents. The plugin is quite user friendly and doesn’t need any configuration, as it is enabled as soon as it is downloaded. It immediately redresses any visitors attempting to access backend pages that are not protected by a password. By forcing login, the plugin ensures that users have to log in with the correct username and password to gain access to the site’s pages.
Force Login also restricts search engine crawlers from indexing parts of the site which contain private information. This is often useful for protecting sensitive files or directories from being listed in search engine results. The Force Login plugin also provides additional privileges depending on which type of account the user is logged in with. This means that you can give certain users access to private pages, such as editors or administrators, while restricting access to other users.
The Force Login plugin is very secure and reliable. It is fully compatible with the latest version of WordPress and can be used by any user with an existing WordPress account. Additionally, the plugin is completely open-source, meaning that the code is freely available to anyone who wishes to view or modify it.
