With the default WordPress setting, only the post content may be hidden while other parts of the page can still appear, such as the title, featured image, custom fields, and theme output. This plugin replaces the full page with a simple password screen until the correct password is entered. The plugin uses the standard WordPress password form and password handling. It does not add a separate login system, custom cookies, user accounts, or password storage. It also helps reduce accidental exposure of protected content in archive pages, search results, taxonomy listings, and REST API responses. #### Key features * Replaces the full singular page with a password screen. * Uses the standard WordPress password form and password handling. * Helps prevent titles, images, and other page elements from appearing before the password is entered. * Sends no-cache headers on the password screen. * Adds noindex, nofollow to the password screen. * Reduces protected content exposure in REST API responses. * Excludes protected posts from public listings by default. * Provides an optional title-only listing mode. * Supports selected public post types. * Includes translatable default messages for the password screen. * Does not load third-party services, tracking scripts, or remote assets. ### Settings #### Enable plugin Turns full page password protection on or off. #### Protected post types Select public post types where password-protected posts should receive full page protection. #### Archive display mode ``` exclude removes protected posts from listing queries. title_only keeps protected posts in listings but hides excerpts, content, and featured images. ``` #### Password message The message displayed above the password form on the password screen. ### Privacy This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit personal data. It does not call external services, load remote assets, or add tracking scripts. ## Screenshots [⌊Settings screen.
