It is designed for site owners who need reliable login enforcement without sacrificing usability or performance. Many sites require authentication for content access but still need exceptions for specific pages, users, or integrations. Absoluto Access Gate provides a structured and predictable way to enforce login rules while supporting common real-world scenarios such as public landing pages, APIs, feeds, and temporary access needs. **Author:** Absoluto Designs **Author URI:** http://absolutodesigns.com **Plugin URI:** https://absolutodesigns.com/plugins/absoluto-access-gate/ ### Features * Force login requirement for all pages * Enable/Disable toggle without deactivating plugin * Exclude specific pages from login requirement * Exclude page templates from login requirement * Exclude post types, categories, and tags * Allow specific user roles to bypass login requirement * Allow specific users to bypass login requirement * IP whitelist with CIDR notation support * Bypass key/token for temporary access * Custom login page URL * Custom redirect after login * Maintenance mode with custom messages * RSS feed and REST API exclusion options * AJAX request exclusion * Archive and search page exclusion * Easy-to-use admin settings page with 2-column layout * Clean and modern UI with enhanced multi-select dropdowns (uses native HTML5 selects, WordPress.org compliant) * Quick add current IP to whitelist button ### Configuration After activating the plugin, navigate to **Settings > Absoluto Access Gate** to configure: ### Excluded Pages Select pages that should be accessible without login. These pages will be publicly accessible even when the plugin is active. ### Excluded Page Templates Select page templates that should be accessible without login. All pages using these templates will be publicly accessible. ### Bypass Roles Select user roles that can bypass the login requirement. Users with these roles can view all pages without being redirected to login. ### Bypass Users Select specific users that can bypass the login requirement. These users can view all pages without being redirected to login. ### How It Works 1. When a user visits any page on your site, the plugin checks: 2. * If the user is logged in and has bypass permission (role or user) * If the current page is excluded * If the current page uses an excluded template 3. If none of the above conditions are met and the user is not logged in, they are redirected to the WordPress login page. 4. After logging in, users are redirected back to the page they were trying to access. ### Requirements * **WordPress:** 5.0 or higher * **PHP:** 7.0 or higher * **Tested up to:** WordPress 6.4 * **Network:** Not compatible with WordPress Multisite network activation ### Support For issues, questions, or contributions, please visit the [plugin page](https://absolutodesigns.com/plugins/absoluto-access-gate/). ### License GPL v2 or later ## Screenshots * [[ * General Settings screen * [[ * Redirect Settings interface * [[ * Excluded Post Types screen * [[ * RSS & API Settings interface ## Installation 1.
