does not work with PHP 7.2?
Is there an update? Thank you in advance.
When I log in, it doesn’t work the first time, but when you put your email address in again, then it works. I am getting an email as admin telling me it’s been successful after the first attempt. I want to use this facility for people who are technophobes, so it needs to be as easy as possible! I have used the plugin before on a different site with no problem.
]]>Hi guys,
anyways you could add invisible captcha (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/invisible-recaptcha/) to Friends Only.
Apparently it’s just a matter of adding an action and a post request condition to check.
I’m happy to test !
]]>Hi Gabriel
Since the last WP version 4.5 I noticed an unusual slowdown (about 15 to 20 seconds) before an email address is granted…
On the other hand invalid emails addresses are rejected instantly.
I use the last version of your plugin : 0.7.6
Total friends in the list : 500
Thank you for your help on this !

]]>Hi Gabe,
your plugin is really great, I love its simplicity. Great job. I just have one question
Is there a way to remember people for a long time (100 days or so), so they dont have to enter password each time?
How long are normaly people loged-in? until they close the browser?
I would be very happy to solve this for my website ??
Thanks
Hi Gabe,
I am using Friends Only for a Japanese language site. Unfortunately any Japanese text entered into the prompt and error message fields turns into something like ???¨???3???????§? after hitting save. It gets displayed OK on the Site but cannot be editet properly any more.
The solution for me was to replace the first four htmlentities() function calls in settings.php with calls to htmlspecialchars(). That way only <>” etc. will be encoded but not ordinary text.
Maybe you could consider this for your next releas.

Hi Gabe,
your Plugin would be perfect for our family blog, but unfortunately there seems to be a bug, that would seriously confuse the less tech-savvy family members:
If I klick on a Blog entry on the main page and then hit the browser’s back-button, I get a message, that the document has expired and if I klick on “retry” I am asked whether I want to resubmit the form data. After choosing “send again” the page loads correctly.
I do not get the message if I go back between two blog posts. So it seems to be connected to going back to the first page that is shown after logging in.
I am running WP 4.3.1 with friends only 0.74 and observed the problem in different Browsers and Systems (Win, Mac, Fire Tablet).
You can see for yourself at blog.babaschrader.de login with “friendsonly”
Deactivating all other plugins did not help. Could this be the result of some other setting in WP? Or some caching that our webhost is doing?

Hi,
I am using the default Twenty Fifteen theme and the login only shows the end of the login box then the browser is in maximum size, but should I make the browser window smaller, then the whole login window shows along with the text that is left aligned. I believe due to the left pane of the Twenty Fifteen theme, the text and login box is blocked/hidden. Is there a quick fix for this?
Thank you in advance,

Hi Gabe,
First, I must thank you for your time and effort into this plugin. I really appreciate it and my friends too. It made their life easier to access my website.
i’ve been searching the FAQ and support question and did try the previous solution exposed without success.
My feed is still unaccessible for some reason. Would you be able to support me trying to re-enalbe it ?

Hello,
I have the following process:
1. User logins in to site (Friends Only) with email/code
2. User performs one task and when it is finished I kill the session, reset cookies etc. Now the user is logged out.
3. At this point (or just before) I would like to also remove the email/code they were using to access the site so they no longer have access to the site. How can I do this?
Many Thanks
Ric
]]>Hi Gabe,
Is there a way within the plugin to kill the session once a user closes their browser? So for example, if a user quits their browser and comes back to the site, they would be required to enter their email address again.
Thanks again for all the help!
]]>With Friends Only enabled, is there a way for my “friends” who don’t have a WordPress logon to comment on articles I post?
]]>Hi,
Because of the sessions, this plugin is not working with WP Engine.
Is there a way to replace the sessions with cookies easily (this is what they recommended when I sent in a support ticket)?
Thanks!
]]>Thank you for your constant suppport on this simple and effective plugin !
Since the last WP 3.9 update, my readers have pointed out that they need to enter their email address each time they go back to the protected area. For example, if they are logged in and they clic on the title of the blog, they need to type their email address again.
We did not have this problem before…
Your help would be appreciated,
Louis

Yesterday I noticed I was no longer receiving email notifications when users log in to my site. Thinking that the problem was related to not yet upgrading to WordPress 3.9, I did that, now Friends Only is not working at all. There is no prompt to login upon visiting the site, it just opens unrestricted. I have not downloaded any new plugins recently, just downloaded new versions of existing plugins. Please advise – thank you!
]]>Hi there Gabriel,
I like your ‘Friends Only’ plugin’s process.
Sorry to contact you here but I haven’t found other information to send you a private message. I have bought on Codecanyon a Coming soon plugin. I’m looking for someone to customize it to run exactly like ‘Friends Only’. I’ve made some screenshots to help you to understand what I would like.
Tell me if your are interested and please give me an email address to send you the whole proposal.
Warm regards

I am using friends only for more than 2 years now and I never had any problem with it. But suddenly today my restrict section is no more protected by the plugin, my restricted wp membres blog is entirely open and no request for an email address is showing anymore…
My wp version is 3.8.1
I tried to desactivate, uninstall and reinstall the plugin but nothing works…
Thanks to help me on this !

Hello,
Is there any way to limit the amount of time the user stays logged in before they need to enter the password again? Personally, I would like it if they had to enter the password every time they visited the page and it seems as though cookies or whatever are keeping that from happening, even after I delete a password that was used to enter previously.
]]>Can you add the ability to use SSL with the login?

I tried removing
<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row">Administrator link</th>
<td><input type="text" size="40" name="prompt_admin" value="<?php echo htmlentities(get_option('prompt_admin'), ENT_QUOTES); ?>" />
</td>
</tr>from friends-onlysettings.php but it doesn’t work.
Please help
Hello,
I have a strong issue when i activate Friends Only.
Once i enter the email in your form, i arrive to the home of my blog but the css style sheet can’t upload.
It seems that due to the website requiring a password, nothing is able to load until users authenticate (i mean WP identification, because as soon as i log in as a contributor or whatever role, the style sheet upload an everything is ok. As soon as i log out, the issue gets back).
Have you any tip to solve this issue? I would really like my blog to be private, but without forcing people to registrate… Your plugin seems to be the only one to provide this feature…
cheers
Mafalda
It is possible to logout from website, after login by email throug friends only plugin??
The only way is to delete cookies and refresh page…
But I would like some logout button…
Thank you
]]>0.7.0 is now live in the repository, and includes the following updates:

* Added support for HTTPS WordPress installs (thanks reflow!)
* Fixes and tweaks to the CSS and HTML in the login page
* Settings screen clean-up
* Clarified instructions for how to get FeedWrangler to work properly (thanks aleecek!)
* Other random small bug fixes
Enjoy!

]]>The plugin is hard coded for http. If you are using https you’re going to need to change line 15 of sentry.php
$clean_URI = str_replace('www.','',strtolower('https://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));Hi,
I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature. Friends only asks the password every time one navigates to the home page, even if doing so from a blog post. Is there a way to remember the login for a session, or something like that? It would be a lot less annoying.
I am running plugin v. 0.6 and latest wordpress.
Thanks!
Hi great plugin! I saw in the support forum someone posted almost a year ago, about making only certain pages private if this is a possibility. I would love to use this plugin however i only need one page made private. Could you direct me on how to make one page private or include it in the plugin itself?
Thankyou!
]]>Just installed this plug-in; added list to settings for access and updated everything, but nothing happens on my site. The main content opens up immediately and I am granted full access. Help please.
]]>Is there a limit to the number of email logins I can put in the Friends Only permitted list? Could it handle thousands? If so, would it bog down the login time?
Thanks, great little plugin!
]]>Your plugin was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so very much! I’m just having one problem (and I’m not a developer, don’t know PHP, I’m self-taught, so please be gentle. :-).
I’m using the Graphene theme and the Graphene mobile theme (which I paid for). Everything works great on a PC, but when I try to open it on my android the style is gone. Only when I disable the Friends Only plugin, does it allow the theme to appear correctly on my mobile device. (Haven’t tried iPads yet.) Is there something I can modify to give it permission to access the mobile theme’s stylesheet or is that even the problem?
Thanks for any help you can send my way!
UPDATE: It seems to work if I use the WPTouch plugin…so for now that’s what I’ll do. ??
]]>I realize I should probably know how to do this, but is there anyway to spice up the login page a bit? Even something as simple as the background color or text color? Can custom CSS be attached?
