    Thank you for your reply! I saw this but wasn’t sure if the cache-cookie thing is complicated for a dummie such as myself.

    Just try it and see.
    It is heavy on the cookie in my experience.
    When I was done with the plugin, I’ve need to completely delete the plugin from my site, and then flush the cache.

    If this will only be for yourself and perhaps a couple other people, you can use Apache to password-protect the entire WordPress site. This is far better than using a WP plugin since it protects EVERYTHING, not just access to your site’s pages.

    There is a wealth of documentation available that explains how to do this. Here is the “official” Apache documentation, which is kinda technical:

    https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/auth.html

    I’m sure your hosting company has documentation available as well. Hosting control panels such as cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin have options that automate the process.
