About this plugin
This plugin allows users to gate their site with BitBadges – claims, payments, NFT badges, and more!
Important Note: This plugin ONLY handles authentication with BitBadges – it does not restrict access to your site by itself. For restricting access, we recommend using this plugin in conjunction with:
- Force Login – Forces users to log in to view your site
- Restrict Content – Restrict content to logged-in users
- Members – Advanced user roles and permissions
- Or other plugins that restrict access to your site
Translation
The Sign In With BitBadges plugin is currently available in English only. The plugin is translation-ready and uses WordPress’s internationalization system, making it easy to add support for additional languages in the future.
