Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WPEPP – Essential Security, Password Protect & Login Page Customizer

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
