limiting and IP-based lockouts.

 * **Login Attempt Limiter** — automatically block IP addresses after repeated failed
   login attempts
 * **Configurable lockout** — set the maximum number of failed attempts and lockout
   duration in minutes

never find it.

 * **Custom Login URL** — change `wp-login.php` to any URL you choose (e.g., `/my-

### 🔒 Lock Entire Site — Site Access Control

it — no plugins or code required.

who is not signed in is automatically redirected to the login page or shown a login
popup. Perfect for intranet sites, staging environments, or member communities.

Visitors must enter the password before they can view any page. Logged-in administrators
always bypass it automatically. Set a cookie duration so returning visitors are 
not asked again.

   site

## FAQ

### How do I limit login attempts in WordPress?

Install and activate WPEPP, then go to **WPEPP  Security** in your WordPress dashboard.
Enable the **Login Limiter** toggle. You can set the maximum number of failed login
attempts allowed and the lockout duration in minutes. Once an IP address exceeds
the limit, it is automatically blocked for the configured period. This protects 
your site from brute force attacks without any additional configuration.

### How do I hide the WordPress login page?

With WPEPP Pro, go to **WPEPP  Security** and enable the **Custom Login URL** feature.
Enter your preferred slug (e.g., `my-login`). The default `wp-login.php` URL will
return a 404 error, and your login page will only be accessible at your new custom
URL. This prevents bots from finding and attacking your login form.

### How do I password protect a WordPress page?

WordPress includes built-in password protection for any post or page — just set 
the visibility to “Password protected” in the editor. WPEPP enhances the default
password form by letting you customize the design with 4 form styles, custom header
text, social media icons, and 10+ one-click templates. With WPEPP Pro, you can also
lock content to logged-in users, specific roles, or set auto-expiry dates.

### How do I customize the WordPress login page without coding?

Go to **WPEPP  Form Style  Login Page** in your dashboard. The visual editor lets
you change the background (color, gradient, image, or video), upload a custom logo,
style the login form, input fields, buttons, links, and error messages — all with
a real-time live preview. No code required. Pro users can also style the register
and lost-password pages.

### How do I block AI crawlers like ChatGPT and Google AI from scraping my site?

Go to **WPEPP  Security  AI Crawler Blocker**. You will see a checklist of known
AI bots including GPTBot (ChatGPT), CCBot (Common Crawl), Google-Extended, and others.
Toggle any bot to block it. WPEPP automatically adds the rules to your `robots.txt`
file. You can preview the generated rules before saving.

### How do I add two-factor authentication (2FA) to WordPress?

With WPEPP Pro, go to **WPEPP  Security** and enable **Two-Factor Authentication**.
Select which user roles should be required to use 2FA. Users will be prompted to
set up 2FA on their next login by scanning a QR code with any authenticator app (
Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.). Eight recovery codes are provided as backup.
The implementation follows the RFC 6238 TOTP standard.

### How do I restrict content to logged-in users only?

WPEPP offers three ways to restrict content: (1) **Site Access Control** — lock 
the entire site to logged-in users under the Site Access tab. (2) **Content Lock(
Pro)** — lock individual posts or pages from the editor sidebar. (3) **Conditional
Display** — show or hide specific content blocks based on login status, user role,
device type, and 9 more conditions.

### How do I create a members-only page in WordPress?

Edit any page and assign the **Member Only** page template from the template dropdown.
Logged-out visitors will see a login form. Once they log in, they see the real page
content. No membership plugin needed — it works out of the box.

### Does WPEPP slow down my website?

No. WPEPP loads zero external scripts on the front end. CSS and JavaScript files
are conditionally loaded only on pages that require them. The admin panel runs on
React but only loads inside the WordPress dashboard. Your site speed score will 
not be affected.

### Is WPEPP compatible with caching plugins?

Yes. WPEPP works with all major caching plugins including WP Super Cache, W3 Total
Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, and others. Password-protected pages and member-
only templates are excluded from caching by default in most setups. If you use site-
wide password protection, ensure your caching plugin excludes password-check pages.

### Does the conditional display feature work with the WordPress REST API?

Yes. Content hidden via WPEPP conditional display rules is also stripped from REST
API responses. This means conditional visibility works correctly with headless WordPress
setups, Gatsby, Next.js, and other front-end frameworks that consume the REST API.

### Can I use WPEPP with WooCommerce?

Yes. WPEPP is compatible with WooCommerce. You can use conditional content display
on WooCommerce product pages, restrict access to the shop, or password-protect individual
products. The login page customizer styles the default WordPress login form which
WooCommerce also uses.

### Will my settings be preserved when I update WPEPP?

Yes. WPEPP includes a built-in migration system that automatically preserves all
your settings across version updates, including the upgrade from v1.x to v2.0. Your
customizations, security rules, and styling options are never lost during an update.

### Does WPEPP support multisite?

Yes. WPEPP works in WordPress multisite (network) installations. Each sub-site has
its own independent settings. Network-wide activation is supported.

The original purpose of the plugin is now behind a Pro subscription and unnecessary
functions were added. The developer went crazy with the Vibe Coding.

I really like the simplicity of this plugin. I think they could make it better by
adding an additional css section under the “social setup”. They have 4 prebuilt 
template designs to choose from.
