About this plugin
Gozer makes your entire WordPress site private by requiring visitors to log in before they can see any content. Perfect for intranets, membership sites, development environments, or any site that needs restricted access.
Unlike other force login plugins, Gozer gives you complete control over exceptions. Configure exactly what should remain publicly accessible through an intuitive settings page.
Key Features
- One-click activation – Enable force login with a single checkbox
- Admin bar toggle – Quick on/off switch directly from the toolbar
- System exceptions – Keep REST API, WP-Cron, WP-CLI, and AJAX working
- SEO-friendly – Allow search engine bots, sitemaps, and robots.txt
- Verified bots – Optionally confirm crawlers by reverse DNS so nobody can fake being Googlebot
- Custom paths – Define specific pages that should remain public
- Advanced IP whitelist – Supports individual IPs, CIDR notation, and wildcards, with configurable IP detection for sites behind Cloudflare or a reverse proxy
- Temporary bypass tokens – Generate shareable links for temporary access
- User agent rules – Grant access to monitoring services
- Flexible redirects – Choose login page, 403 error, or custom URL
- Lightweight – No bloat, just the features you need
