My Private Site

Description

My Private Site makes your WordPress site private so only logged-in users can see your content. With one click, you can restrict access to all posts and pages, automatically redirect visitors to the login screen, and keep your site visible only to people you trust.

Unlike full membership or subscription systems, My Private Site focuses on strong privacy without unnecessary complexity. It is ideal for family sites, schools, clubs, client previews, or development environments where you want to share content with a trusted audience without managing payments, profiles, or custom roles.

The plugin helps protect the "front door" of your private site with built-in safeguards for login and user registration, including registration spam protection and optional reCAPTCHA support. It also includes AI Crawler Defense to discourage automated collection of your site’s content.

My Private Site includes features such as making your entire WordPress site private with a single setting, redirecting logged-out visitors automatically to the login page, and supporting user self-registration on private sites when enabled. The plugin also allows you to protect registration with built-in spam controls and optional reCAPTCHA.

FAQ

By far, the most common way to create a Redirect Loop on your browser with this plugin is to specify both Custom Login page and Landing Location on the plugin’s Settings page. Simply setting “Where to after Login?” in the Landing Location section to “Omit ?redirect_to= from URL” should correct the problem.

This problem has been observed when the URL of the Custom Login page is a WordPress Page. It occurs because, for Page URLs, WordPress uses the ?redirect_to= Query keyword for purposes other than a Landing Location.
