🤔 Why You Need Professional Password Protection
WordPress powers 43% of the web, and with cyber threats rising rapidly, protecting valuable content is more important than ever.
The challenge is that WordPress requires creating user accounts for access control, which is often unnecessary and too complex for simple cases.
✅ PPWP solves this problem by letting you password protect any content without creating accounts.
Perfect for:
– Photographers sharing client galleries
– Businesses protecting internal documents
– Developers securing staging sites
– Content creators offering premium content
– Anyone who needs quick, simple access control
❌ The problem with WordPress’s default password protection:
– Only ONE password per page
– Cannot protect specific sections of content
– Provides no tracking or management
✅ The PPWP solution:
– Unlimited passwords per page/post
– Partial content protection (exclusive feature)
– Analytics and management tools (Pro)
⚡ Features That Make PPWP #1
🆓 FREE Forever Features
✨ Multiple Passwords Per Page/Post
Extend WordPress’s limited protection by setting unlimited passwords per page/post. Protect content with one click – a random password is auto-generated. Perfect for giving different access levels to different groups.
👥 Password Protection by User Roles
Assign different passwords for different roles – one for subscribers, another for editors, another for clients. Manage access by privilege level without complex membership plugins.
📝 Partial Content Protection (Exclusive to PPWP)
Password protect specific sections of a page or post instead of locking the entire content. Create teasers of premium content to encourage signups.
Example:
[ppwp passwords="your-password"]Your protected section here[/ppwp]
🔒 Section Protection for Page Builders
Go beyond basic PCP:
– Add password-protected sections on custom post types
– Protect templates in Elementor, Divi, and others
– Avoid compatibility issues or hacks
– Lock builder-specific elements (rows, columns, modules)
⏰ Time-Based Content Access
Schedule when protected content becomes available. Perfect for limited-time offers or course drip content.
Example:
[ppwp passwords="123" on="2024/12/25 09:00:00" off="2024/12/31 23:59:59"] Christmas week exclusive content [/ppwp]

“PPWP adds password protection options not found in WP. It was essential for us to block password-protected pages from our RSS feed, which PPWP does great. Furthermore, WPFolio support was fast and very helpful identifying what, in the end, was my mistake and not an issue with their plugin.”
