FAQ

Will this lock me out of the admin?

No. The WordPress login page (wp-login.php) is always whitelisted automatically, so you can always log in.

Can I allow some pages to be publicly accessible?

Yes. In Settings, enter the page IDs you want to keep public under “Whitelisted Page IDs”. Separate multiple IDs with commas.

Does this protect the REST API too?

Optionally. Enable “Protect REST API” in settings to require authentication on all REST endpoints. Note this may break plugins that rely on unauthenticated API calls.

How do I find a page’s ID?

Go to Pages > All Pages, hover over a page, and the ID appears in the URL at the bottom of the browser (e.g. post=42).
