AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Page Protection is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Page Protection works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin adds optional per-page user name and password protection, implemented using standard HTTP protocol authorization headers, thus triggering the standard user/password dialog of the browser, and making it possible to make the browser store the credentials.
Subpages of a protected page are protected with the same user name and password as their parent.
Protected pages and their subpages do not show up in menus, search results and page lists.
Usage
When editing a page, locate the section titled “Page Protection” (probably located near the bottom of the right sidebar).
Check the box “Protect page and subpages”, and provide a user name and password combination.
Optionally, check the box “Make page and subpages searchable”, if you want the page and its subpages turn up in search results, but only with their title, not their content.
Save your page.
