Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Password for WP

No. The password only protects the public front-end of your site. The wp-admin area and the WordPress login page stay accessible so you can keep working normally.

In the plugin settings, click Select image next to Background image, choose any image from your Media Library, and a thumbnail preview appears immediately. The image is shown stretched as a full-screen cover on the login screen. Use Remove to clear it.

Yes. Enable the Cache support option. The plugin then tells your cache not to store the login screen, varies cached pages by the access cookie, and clears the cache when you save the settings so protected pages are never served from an old cache.

Yes. Turn on Do not ask logged-in users for the password and any logged-in user will see the site without entering the password.

Yes. Password for WP is built and tested for WordPress 7 and remains backward compatible with WordPress 6.0 and above.

English, Polish, German and French are included, and the plugin is fully translation ready via the bundled .po and .mo files.
