Overview

About this plugin

Lockaire is a WordPress password protection plugin that lets you create a custom password page instead of relying on the default WordPress password form.

Want to password protect a WordPress page or post while keeping control over its appearance? Lockaire lets you create a dedicated password page, add your password form using a shortcode, and configure which content requires a password.

Whether you want to protect private content, restrict access to a specific page, or create a branded password entry experience, Lockaire gives you a simple way to manage password-protected content from your WordPress dashboard.

Unlike a plain default password form, your custom password page can use your own page layout, text, images, and design.

Key Features

  • Custom Password Page: Create your own password page instead of relying on the default WordPress password form.
  • Password Protect Pages: Configure a specific WordPress page to require a password.
  • Password Protect Posts: Configure a specific WordPress post to require a password.
  • Custom Password Form Shortcode: Add the [lkar_password_protector_form] shortcode to your custom password page.
  • Automatic Redirects: Send visitors to your custom password page when they access protected content.
  • Return to Original Content: Redirect visitors back to the requested page or post after successful password verification.
  • AJAX Password Validation: Validate password submissions without a full page reload.
  • Password Visibility Toggle: Let users show or hide the password they enter.
  • Dashboard Settings: Configure your password page, protected content, and password from the WordPress admin area.
  • WordPress Nonce Checks: Use WordPress nonce verification for the plugin’s AJAX requests.

Why Choose Lockaire?

WordPress includes a built-in password protection feature, but its default password form offers limited control over the surrounding page design.

Lockaire gives you a different approach: create a dedicated page that matches your website’s branding and place the password form wherever you want within that page’s content.

Use Lockaire when you want to:

  • Create a branded password entry page.
  • Password protect selected WordPress content.
  • Design a more personalized password form experience.
  • Redirect visitors to protected content after they enter the correct password.
  • Keep your password page consistent with the rest of your website.

How It Works

  • Install and activate Lockaire.
  • Create a WordPress page for your custom password form.
  • Add [lkar_password_protector_form] to that page.
  • Open the Lockaire settings in your WordPress dashboard.
  • Select your password page, choose the page or post you want to protect, and configure the password.
  • Save your settings.
  • Visitors attempting to access the protected content are redirected to your password page.
  • After entering the correct password, visitors are redirected back to the requested content.
