Securing an Entire Website or Specific Sections with Passwords
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to secure an entire website or specific sections with passwords using the WooCommerce Password Protected Categories and Shop:
Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
Go to the WooCommerce section and find the ‘Manage Rules’ screen.
Click on the ‘Add New Rule’ button.
Set Rule Details:
Rule Name: Give your rule a descriptive name.
Applied On: Choose where you want to apply password protection.
- For the entire website, select “Whole Website.”
- For specific items, choose “Selected Items.”
- Password Protected Products: Pick the products you want to protect with a password.
- Password Protected Categories: Choose the categories you want to protect with a password.
- Password Protected Pages: Select specific pages to password-protect.
Rule Status: Decide whether the rule should be enabled or disabled.
- If you want the password protection to be active, choose “Enabled.”
- If you want to save the rule but not activate it immediately, choose “Disabled.”

After configuring the rule settings, click the “Add Rule” button to save the changes.
By following these steps, you’ll have password protection set up for your WooCommerce shop, either for the entire website or specific sections, depending on your preferences. Users will need to enter a password to access the protected content.
