This morning I was riding on a crest of a WordPress Wave of just good things happening to me. Including this great plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-private-site/
I was searching a very long time for a very simple plugin that would allow me to make a WordPress site only accessible by login, and also only by users that I have set up myself (although this plugin allows for frontend user registration as well). Like there are plenty of membership plugins around and they are mostly for paid subscription. I was looking for one that doesn't need paid subscription and is very simple to set up.
This works very well. One can either create a landing page on a different server for a fancy login page, or do as I did, which is to have the standard WordPress login page. So what's nice is that all I need to do is set up the user as a subscriber and then an e-mail will be sent to the user to create a new password for access to the Website. It was perfect for what I wanted to have. Like Subscriber only gets a profile option in the Dashboard. Editor can edit everything - however doesn't get access to the Admin tools.
