Restrict WordPress to Private

Question

I want to set up a private WordPress site, with only 2 users, all I need is a simple private site functionality, with visitors unable to see anything when trying to login, only being redirected to the login page. RSS should also be blocked.

I have found one plugin which does this, but it doesn't seem to be maintained, any others which do the same thing and are maintained?

Answer 1

Use this :

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/password-protected/

A very simple way to quickly password protect your WordPress site with a single password. Integrates seamlessly into your WordPress privacy settings.

How can I change the WordPress logo to a different image?

Install and configure the Login Logo plugin by Mark Jaquith. This will change the logo on your password entry page AND also your admin login page.

Answer 2

See WordPress › Absolute Privacy « WordPress Plugins. Full login control and blocking of RSS.

Answer 3

If you can, use apache basic authentication, much easier than trying to do this with a WP plugin, especially if you only have 2 users for the site.

Answer 4

I've been working on this a little bit, and this solution adds a new set of options to the "Privacy" settings page.

function oxide_setup_options() {
    register_setting('oxide-privacy', 'blog_open');
    $blog_open = get_option('blog_open');
    if ( empty( $blog_open ) ) {
        add_option('blog_open', '0');
    }
}
add_action('admin_init', 'oxide_setup_options');
function oxide_restrict_toggle() { ?>
<?php settings_fields('oxide-privacy'); ?>
<legend class="screen-reader-text"><span><?php _e( 'Site Access Restriction' ); ?> </span></legend>
<input id="blog-open" type="radio" name="blog_open" value="1" <?php checked('1', get_option('blog_open')); ?> />
<label for="blog-open"><?php _e( 'Allow access to all users.' );?></label><br/>
<input id="blog-closed" type="radio" name="blog_open" value="0" <?php checked('0', get_option('blog_open')); ?> />
<label for="blog-closed"><?php _e( 'Restrict access to logged in users.' ); ?></label>
<p class="description"><?php _e( 'Note: This option blocks access to your site &mdash; like a boss.' ); ?></p>
<?php do_settings_fields('oxide-privacy', 'default'); ?>
<?php }
add_action('blog_privacy_selector', 'oxide_restrict_toggle');
function oxide_restrict_access() {
    if ( !get_option('blog_open') && !is_user_logged_in() ) {
        wp_redirect( wp_login_url() ); exit;
    }
}
add_action('parse_request', 'oxide_restrict_access');

Just toss that code into your theme's functions.php file or create a simple plugin containing the code and you're well on your way!
