They will investigate whether the current redirect behavior could cause caching or access issues in certain scenarios and whether a change should be considered in a future update. * Thank you for taking the time to report this and provide the code snippet. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PPWP - Password Protect Pages] Errors from plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-from-plugin-5/) * Plugin Support [Muhammad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muhammadwpfolio/) * (@muhammadwpfolio) * [2 weeks, 3 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-from-plugin-5/#post-18923109) * Hi [@ftijay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ftijay/), * Thank you for sharing the details. * We’ve forwarded this information to our development team for further investigation. We’ll review the reported warnings with WordPress 6.9.4, PHP 8.2, and PPWP 1.9.18 and get back to you once we have an update. * We appreciate your patience. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Prevent Direct Access - Protect WordPress Files] Download timeout after 300 seconds on slow connections (free version)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/download-timeout-after-300-seconds-on-slow-connections-free-version/) * Plugin Support [Muhammad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muhammadwpfolio/) * (@muhammadwpfolio) * [3 weeks, 6 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/download-timeout-after-300-seconds-on-slow-connections-free-version/#post-18912332) * Hi [@fotograf561](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fotograf561/), * Thank you for the clarification. * Since your hosting provider does not allow increasing the Apache timeout on the shared hosting environment, the limitation would likely still affect PDA Free downloads on slower connections. * PDA Gold may help in this case because it includes an alternative download handling method designed for large file transfers and timeout prevention. However, as the restriction is enforced by the hosting environment itself, we cannot fully guarantee the behavior under all server limitations. * If large file downloads are an important requirement for your site, a VPS/dedicated environment or external storage solution would generally provide more reliable results for long-running downloads. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PPWP - Password Protect Pages] PPWP Lite slow to work for users at bottom of list](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ppwp-lite-slow-to-work-for-users-at-bottom-of-list/) * Plugin Support [Muhammad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muhammadwpfolio/) * (@muhammadwpfolio) * [2 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ppwp-lite-slow-to-work-for-users-at-bottom-of-list/#post-18870204) * Hi [@drjsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drjsa/) , * Thanks for your question. * The Whitelisted Roles feature is not available in the Lite version. To use this functionality, you would need to upgrade to PPWP Pro, as it is a Pro-only feature. * Please let us know if you need any help with the upgrade or have further questions. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PPWP - Password Protect Pages] PPWP Lite slow to work for users at bottom of list](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ppwp-lite-slow-to-work-for-users-at-bottom-of-list/) * Plugin Support [Muhammad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muhammadwpfolio/) * (@muhammadwpfolio) * [2 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ppwp-lite-slow-to-work-for-users-at-bottom-of-list/#post-18869289) * Hi [@drjsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drjsa/) , * Thanks for confirming this thoroughly. * Since caching has already been excluded and the issue still persists even with all plugins disabled, this confirms it is not related to StackCache or any plugin conflict. * At this point, the delay appears to be coming from the way PPWP Lite processes multiple passwords, as it checks them sequentially until it finds a match. * As a temporary fix, you can try reducing the number of passwords or reordering the list so that the most frequently used passwords are placed at the top for faster access. * However, for a permanent and reliable solution with consistent performance, switching to the Pro version is the only option we can suggest. * Let us know how you’d like to proceed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PPWP - Password Protect Pages] PPWP Lite slow to work for users at bottom of list](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ppwp-lite-slow-to-work-for-users-at-bottom-of-list/) * Plugin Support [Muhammad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muhammadwpfolio/) * (@muhammadwpfolio) * [2 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ppwp-lite-slow-to-work-for-users-at-bottom-of-list/#post-18869200) * Hi [@drjsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drjsa/) , * Thanks for your testing and detailed timing ,that really helps. * Yes, ideally with only 60 passwords, we wouldn’t expect such a large difference in load time. The behavior you’re seeing (fast for earlier passwords and significantly slower for later ones) suggests that the system is iterating through the stored passwords sequentially until it finds a match. * This means the performance impact becomes more noticeable depending on where the matching password sits in the list. * At this point, it still looks more like a caching or optimization-related behavior rather than a limitation of PPWP Lite itself. * Could you please confirm which caching plugin you are using? Also, kindly exclude the protected page from caching and test again. * Additionally, please try testing with all other plugins temporarily disabled to rule out any conflicts. * Let us know how it goes and we’ll take it from there. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PPWP - Password Protect Pages] PPWP Lite slow to work for users at bottom of list](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ppwp-lite-slow-to-work-for-users-at-bottom-of-list/) * Plugin Support [Muhammad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muhammadwpfolio/) * (@muhammadwpfolio) * [2 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ppwp-lite-slow-to-work-for-users-at-bottom-of-list/#post-18869142) * Hi [@drjsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drjsa/) , * Thanks for reaching out. * PPWP Free stores all passwords of a single post in the WordPress default table` postmeta`. So it might take time to check passwords and unlock content if you have number of passwords. * If you want to avoid loading delays, you should consider switching to the Pro version. The Pro version stores all passwords in a separate table in the WordPress database. By doing that, we can assign each password a unique ID, which speeds up the password checking process significantly. * Please let us know if you’d like any help with the upgrade or further assistance. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PPWP - Password Protect Pages] “Cookie nonce is invalid” error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-nonce-is-invalid-error-2/) * Plugin Support [Muhammad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muhammadwpfolio/) * (@muhammadwpfolio) * [2 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-nonce-is-invalid-error-2/#post-18869002) * Hi [@asnate](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asnate/) , * Thanks for the details. * Could you please try the following steps: 1.
