Added it, set it up to use a custom url, rather then use the url I specified it filled the address bar in with it, as well as about 500 more characters rendering it useless.

I use the free version. None of the advanced fine-grained access controls. Simply the basic function to lock down your entire website from anonymous users. With this all anonymous requests to any WordPress slug get redirected to the login screen.
? Worked fine with classic themes.
? Recently I switched to a block theme (Twenty Twenty Three) and My Private Site stopped working.
?? The fix was quite easy:
I can’t tell whether that’s valid for any block theme in general. But if anyone has the same issue, it’s worth trying to change this setting!

Hi, first of all thank you for the great pluging. I tried registering on your site for support but it says email is incorrect. I have My Private Site plugin installed on a non-for-profit site for members to login privately and be able to request things from the main chapter.
The current update is giving the following error:
wp-content/plugins/jonradio-private-site/library/cmb2/includes/CMB2.php on line 1553
This errors seems to be blocking updates, deleting plugins and themes and some other functions on the site. Not sure how.
I am using the plugins below:
All-in-One WP Migration
Elementor
Elementor Pro
User Role Editor
Woocommerce
WooCommerce Custom Emails
WooCommerce Page Builder For Elementor
WP Mail SMTP
WPForms Lite
Please let me know if there is something I can do or if an update will come that can resolve this.

This plug-in works as intended. Very easy to install, activate & choose relevant settings. David’s video was useful too
I did have a (different, but linked) problem in that when a “Subscriber” logged on with this plugin, the WordPress admin screen black-bar showed up at the top.
David suggested I try another plugin to ‘Hide Admin bar’ and now I get exactly what I want
(PS David – thanks for the almost immediate response over the weekend! Appreciated)

The plugin is an excellent solution for any kind of private website and intranet. It is easy to set up, it does not caused any errors, and you have great customer support. You can even allow some pages to be public with their add-on. I strongly recommend this plugin.

Worked exactly how it said and was exactly what I needed. Even better for no cost. Thank you David!

Installed this plugin, and checked my site in an incognito window, still worked as normal. Then I clicked the “Enable login privacy” checkbox under Site privacy in the plugin settings, refreshed my site in the incognito window and it now asked for a password. Great so far! I then unchecked the box again, and to my surprise after I refreshed my site in the incognito window, it still asked for a password! I refreshed the page again, tried different browsers, tried different devices, deactivated the plugin, but my site KEEPS asking for a password to view it no matter what! So basically, it seems the decision to make your site private is a permanent one with this plugin. I tried creating a support ticket on the developer website, but I never got the confirmation email from registering. So there’s no way for me to get support either. PLEASE SEND HELP!
Note: if the developer helps me resolve this I will change my review. I just want my site back at this point!

Works very well for my purposes and I’m very grateful for the opportunity to use it free of cost. I will be checking out the add-ons and maybe purchasing them later. Thank you so much.

Been using the free plugin for awhile and it’s incredibly reliable. I ended up getting an addon and opened a support request and the developer was quick to repsond. Keep it up!

i run a private travel blog for family and friends. This plugin allows me just to do that very easily. I have been using it over the last 5 years, never had an issue so far.
EDIT : Some users were complaining they are not able to login to the site. I always thought it all boils down to a PEBKAC issue. However I found out that in some case the users can be trapped in a redirect loop.
In your site menu add logout link to /wp-login.php?action=logout
Once the user click it he is prompted if he really wants to disconnect.
User confirms the disconnect and is redirected to login screen.
If he tries to reconnect from there he’ll be redirected to the log out confirmation on and on…
I wanted to fiel a support ticket, but the process is cumbersome since support moved away from WP forums. Looking for a replacement plugin.

I was concerned about the missing support threads here, but I have to say there is no need to worry.
Withing a few hours of reporting a bug, the new version was released and I was personally notified by the developer.
Wow.
Thanks!

Springing a paywall connected to core functionality on users through an update – well what can one say…
]]>Rating: 1 star
Never stated in the changelog that some major features are now behind a paywall. I updated the plugin and then had to spend alot of time undoing this mess. I would have chosen to pay for the new features had i been warned beforehand! This kind of dishonestly is why this plugin gets a low review.

I installed it on Multisite and it had errors right after activating the plugin. Had to delete it immediately.

Have been using for many years but the latest update moves some of the core functionality behind a paywall.

The plugin has a lot of useful features and it does what is says. Though it is false that the plugin works with any theme. I tried Less Reloaded by Morteza Geransayeh. But the plugin doesn’t work with the theme.

This plugin has all of the options I needed to make my website private, plain and simple. A great plugin. The features I appreciate the most is the fine-tuned control over custom login pages and always visible pages.
On my installation as of the date of this review it is working with the latest version of WooCommerce and WordPress perfectly.

Just to let you know that this plugin still works with my installation
Wordpress 5.2.3
Elementor 2.6.6

So far, so good. Two suggestions:
1. Make the link in the admin panel settings menu match the plugin name, My Private Site.
2. Allow for adding multiple exceptions in one go, instead of having to add an exception URL, save, repeat. A multiline textbox with a different URL on each line would be an easy way to accomplish this.

I’ve been using this plugin since it was named Jonradio private site.
Never stepped into any issue, it works perfectly and simply does its job.
Just installed it into a WordPress 4.8.2 installation: smooth sailing.
Special thanks to David Gewirtz for having adopted the plugin and still keeping it up-to-date.

Hi I think this is a great plugin , thanks. My question is that when a user registers – the email sent to admin takes a few hours to come through and the email send after approval also takes a few hours to arrive ? Any ideas ?
Thanks

The plugin makes the site private, but when I set it to redirect to my Buddypress activity page, it gives an error: “Omit ?redirect_to= from URL (this option is recommended for Custom Login pages)” It also caused an endless loop that broke the site and I could only fix it by deleting the plugin via FTP.
I’m unable to get support to resolve the issue and make it work the way it claims. I searched the forums and all posts with this issue are unanswered or closed without answer. I also tried to open a ticket on ZATZLabs but never received the login email after registration.
