Title: Allow by IP Range Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Allow by IP Range * Resolved [invisiblue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayharle/) * (@jayharle) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-by-ip-range/) * Any plans to include the ability to allow by IP range, users to see the site without logging in? And then users outside of the range would need to login. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-force-login/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-force-login/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Kevin Vess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinvess/) * (@kevinvess) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-by-ip-range/#post-6505761) * Not exactly, but there may be a new version released in the near future that would allow users to pass a boolean (true or false) value to stop the plugin from redirecting. This would offer more flexibility for users to stop the redirect for _any_ reason and not just limit them to whitelisting absolute URLs. * Thanks for your interest in the plugin and stay tuned for future updates! * Thread Starter [invisiblue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayharle/) * (@jayharle) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-by-ip-range/#post-6505886) * Thanks Kevin! * [allenlee007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allenlee007/) * (@allenlee007) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-by-ip-range/#post-8532689) * You mention in this old thread that there may be a new feature developed “that would allow users to pass a boolean (true or false) value to stop the plugin from redirecting.” * Any help on disabling the Force Login plugin within a session if a querystring name:value pair is passed through in the url – essentially whitelisting the whole site if the querystring is ever recognized within a browser session. * Plugin Author [Kevin Vess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinvess/) * (@kevinvess) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-by-ip-range/#post-8534586) * Yes – in version 5.0 I added the new `v_forcelogin_bypass` filter that allows you to pass a boolean (true|false) value to stop the plugin. * Here is an example of how to use the filter: [https://gist.github.com/kevinvess/641aad7cbe5bb42a751ef8ba7fee74ce](https://gist.github.com/kevinvess/641aad7cbe5bb42a751ef8ba7fee74ce) * Also, checkout my LinkedIn article for more details about the updates in version 5.0: [https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-features-force-login-50-kevin-vess](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-features-force-login-50-kevin-vess) * Lastly, you asked: * > Any help on disabling the Force Login plugin within a session if a querystring > name:value pair is passed through in the url * Checkout the Force Login Wiki on GitHub for examples of the different methods for whitelisting dynamic URLs, including a query string name:value pair: * [https://github.com/kevinvess/wp-force-login/wiki/Whitelist-Dynamic-URLs#method-3—page-url-based-on-query-string-parameters-andor-values](https://github.com/kevinvess/wp-force-login/wiki/Whitelist-Dynamic-URLs#method-3—page-url-based-on-query-string-parameters-andor-values) * Thanks! * [allenlee007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/allenlee007/) * (@allenlee007) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-by-ip-range/#post-8543253) * Thanks much for pointing out the bypass function. Very helpful feature. So the only way that the bypass would persist for a user session would be if every subsequent link within the page contained the same querystring var. * Any idea on how I can append the “bypass querystring” to all url links rendered on the wordpress page only when the “bypass querystring” is recognized by the my_forcelogin_bypass function? * I am embedding this site within a software application and would like for the page to remain ForceLogin protected “in the wild”, yet totally bypassed when embedded within the application. Hope that makes sense. * Plugin Author [Kevin Vess](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinvess/) * (@kevinvess) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/allow-by-ip-range/#post-8543892) * The `v_forcelogin_bypass` filter allows you to bypass Force Login for any condition. * The examples I linked to are just examples of how it could work. You’ll need to write your own conditional statement to meet your specific needs for when to bypass Force Login. * > I am embedding this site within a software application and would like for the > page to remain ForceLogin protected “in the wild”, yet totally bypassed when > embedded within the application. * It sounds like you need to figure out how your application can pass a session key/value to your WordPress site that it can check for. And if the key exists or has a specific value, then bypass Force Login. * As for exactly how you can pass this session data from your application, I won’t be able to help through here. I suggest you hire a developer to help you integrate your application with WordPress. * Thanks for using Force Login!
