Absoluto Access Gate

Beschrijving

Absoluto Access Gate is a flexible WordPress access-control plugin that allows you to require user login across your site while offering precise control over who can access what. It is designed for site owners who need reliable login enforcement without sacrificing usability or performance.

Many sites require authentication for content access but still need exceptions for specific pages, users, or integrations. Absoluto Access Gate provides a structured and predictable way to enforce login rules while supporting common real-world scenarios such as public landing pages, APIs, feeds, and temporary access needs.

Configuration

After activating the plugin, navigate to Settings > Absoluto Access Gate to configure:

Excluded Pages

Select pages that should be accessible without login. These pages will be publicly accessible even when the plugin is active.

Excluded Page Templates

Select page templates that should be accessible without login. All pages using these templates will be publicly accessible.

Bypass Roles

Select user roles that can bypass the login requirement. Users with these roles can view all pages without being redirected to login.

Bypass Users

Select specific users that can bypass the login requirement. These users can view all pages without being redirected to login.

How It Works

1. When a user visits any page on your site, the plugin checks:

   • If the user is logged in and has bypass permission (role or user)
   • If the current page is excluded
   • If the current page uses an excluded template

2. If none of the above conditions are met and the user is not logged in, they are redirected to the WordPress login page.

3. After logging in, users are redirected back to the page they were trying to access.

Requirements
