Password Protected Categories

Needed to find a way to restrict content specific to the premium subscribers to our blog. Password Protected Categories, in conjunction with Posts Table Pro did the trick. It worked with our users' WordPress Accounts and didn't interfere with our payment plugin. On our site, it looks appealing, is easy to use and works exactly as intended.

We needed a facility on our website for different users to have access to a private page on using separate passwords and a central log in area. After a lot of looking around I eventually came across this plugin. It's by and large very easy to use and the support team were very helpful when tweaking it to suit our needs completely. It looks like the functionality can be even more flexible too so would be happy to recommend.

Great plugin: does what it says on the box. The plugin works as it says it does. Initially I had problems because I wanted to password protect pages and not blog categories but there is a way do this. The support is stellar: fast, courteous and clear. And their library of support articles has excellent quality and referencing. If you are wondering if it is worth the price, it is. Support, reliability and future-proof accountability are here. You won't get that with free or cheap plugins. Save yourself pointless time shopping around, avoid the technical agro spent trouble shooting and just buy it!

I needed to build a personal tutoring website, with separate public and personal student sections... I found a couple of free plugins, which promised category protection... and indeed they do, but in a very crude way. At the end of the day I removed them, because while they worked, the resulting behavior was very rudimentary and made the site appear unprofessional. This plugin looked a lot more promising, so I decided to give it a try... and indeed, it is a powerful and clever tool, that gives professional results. Typing a password leads the user to his personal section, and for admin, maintaining multiple personal sections is a breeze. Search shows only the results from the applicable categories (public and the user's personal section), and the integration of a login function is a piece of cake. I found a slight issue with the calendar widget (posts by date), where the links on the calendar dates are not filtered out by the category, so clicking on some date may lead to a 'page not found', due to that page being in a different user's personal section. I don't see it as a big deal. In general, I'm quite happy with this plugin, and find it very useful.
