Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Access Areas for WordPress version 1.5.22 as active, updated 11mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin

You can either restrict access to logged-in uses only, certain WordPress-Roles or even custom Access Areas.

Restrict reading, editing and commenting permission to logged-in users, certain WordPress-Roles or Access Areas

Known Issues
WordPress calendar Widget still shows dates where restricted posts have been created.
When clicked on such a date a 404 will occur. There is an open WordPress Core ticket on that issue.
Taxonomy menus (e.g. Tags / Categories) also count restricted posts when the total number of posts in a taxonomy is ascertained.
See this post for details.
