Restricted Site Access

Limit access your site to visitors who are logged in or accessing the site from a set of specified IP addresses. Send restricted visitors to the log in page, redirect them, or display a message or page. A great solution for Extranets, publicly hosted Intranets, or parallel development / staging sites.

Adds a number of new configuration options to the Reading settings panel as well as the Network Settings panel in multisite. From these panels you can:

• Enable or disable site restriction
• Change the restriction behavior: send to login, redirect, display a message, display a page
• Add IP addresses to an unrestricted list, including ranges
• Quickly add your current IP to the unrestricted list
• Customize the redirect location, including an option to send them to the same requested path and set the HTTP status code for SEO friendliness
• Define a simple message to show restricted visitors, or select a page to show them – great for “coming soon” teasers!
