How to password protect wordpress site?

[rizwanrajput]

I need to password protect my wordpress site except home page. I need homepage to be visible to every visitor but if they click on ANY link that could be post/page within the site then user should be redirected to login page. Any help would be appreciated

Wordpress manual shows you how to do this. Have you read it?

Hello,

You can make your page / post password protected from the admin panel >> Edit Page/Post then click on visibility Edit link from right sidebar and set restriction and click on ok button.
Hope your problem will be solved.

I don't want to do that. I have a website with around 10 pages. I only want to display home page to visitors and rest of the pages should be visible to logged in users only. If a visitor tries to access another page they should be redirected to login page. I just installed a plugin PASSWORD PROTECT PLUGIN FOR WORDPRESS. It is redirecting visitors to login form for all pages including home page. I want to display home page to visitors. This is the code :

function password_protected() {
if ( (!is_user_logged_in() and !is_feed()) or (!is_home() and !is_front_page()) or (!is_user_logged_in() and is_feed() and !get_option("wppassprotect_public_feed")=="checked ")) {
auth_redirect();
}
}

In this code, I added (!is_home() and !is_front_page()) myself to allow visitors to see home page but it's not working. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello rizwanrajput,

Just try with the following function.

function password_protected() {
    if(!is_home() or !is_front_page()) {
        if ( (!is_user_logged_in() and !is_feed()) or (!is_user_logged_in() and is_feed() and !get_option("wppassprotect_public_feed")=="checked ")) {
        auth_redirect();
        }
    }
}
 

Thanks & Regards,
