Hey everyone,
I have worked on a website for a small educational organisation which I want to participate in. They currently do have a website but it’s not really attractive & readable imo which is why I offered to create a new one.
Now I would like to show them and get some feedback. The website is already live under some unrecognisable domain. I could just send them the link but much rather would like to only allow access onto the website by logging in first.
There are membership plugins but they all seem too much effort for such a simple task. Is there another way?
Background: I do not want it yet to be publicly accessible due to copyright/sensitive data etc. concerns.
Thanks a lot for your help & input in advance!

Install the Force Login plugin.
Does your host use cPanel? I’ve never done it but looks like this is included in it’s functionality based on [this tutorial]).
CMP “coming soon” plugin and use its “bypass” URL feature. Easier than creating logins.
Password protect the site. I have used this –
2 other (free) possibilities:
[https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-my-site/])
[https://wordpress.org/plugins/password-protected/])
See if your hosting has a restricted url feature
You can use .htaccess and .htpasswd in [Apache]), or HTTP authentication in [NGINX]).
There are bunch of plugins that do this but I use Registered Users Only. You can also do it at the server level which will eliminate the need for creating a WP account if that’s a concern.
