 * Hello dear great WP community!
 * I would like to make my website private.
    I found “only” 2 plugins that can do
   that
 * – “registered users only”: not updated for 2 years, i don’t want to use it ;-),
   and it’s too complex for my needs
 * – “friends only” (till 3.5) : this plugin is great in term of feature, exactly
   what i want (i give my friends a password (a word or their email) and they can
   use it to visit the site and register if they want. Simple! And i’m noticed each
   time someone visits.
 * But when i activate friends only, the style sheet is not loading when people 
   enter my website. This plug in in not compatible to my theme 🙁 (i can’t show
   you i’m still on local)
 * Do you have any other plugin to suggest me? I’m desperate!
 * Cheeeeers!

 * Thanks Esmi!
 * The issue with this one is that we have to force user to create an account to
   login (they have to register).
 * I don’t want to force people to register. i would love to let them just enter
   their email address or a specific email address to read the blog.
 * ‘Password Protect WordPress’ plugin permits that but it’s not compatible with
   WP Engine 🙁
 * Do you have any other suggestion?
