This is a very small WordPress plugin that forces users to login before viewing any content.

Description

This is a very small plugin that forces users to login before viewing any content. This is done by checking if the user is logged in, and if not, redirecting them to the login page. Users attempting to view blog content via RSS are also authenticated via HTTP Auth.

Caffeinating

When you find this helpful, you could buy me a coffee. Keeping me properly caffeinated accelerates things. And it would really make my day. Kindness of strangers and all that. If you can't or won't, no hard feelings. It's available completely free for a reason. Still, it would be awesome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change where the user is redirected after logging in?

Yes! A variable called $redirect_to (line 33) is currently set to redirect the user to the page they were trying to access. If you changed that line from

$redirect_to = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

to

$redirect_to = '/';

it would redirect the user to the home page.

Screenshots

None taken. Just a login screen.
