Redirect to login if not logged in

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 83% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   How do we allow access to some IP numbers? This is really important to me. Is it possible to allow more than 1 IP number? This topic was modified 7 years, 6 months ago by arthurfrank.

   …but it’s not what i was actually hoping it does. It only applies to the initial landing page that the user attempts to go to. This option is a little harsh IMHO, as the user is jarred by the WP login screen. From a commercial perspective, I could never present potential customers (requiring membership) to login/register so abruptly. Having said that, I’m sure there are plenty of applications for this plugins use for other folks. I personally want to redirect on a particular page, to redirect the user, if he is not logged in, then once logged in, to redirect back to where he was originally intending to go… …i just keep looking! : )

   Thanks Daan this is one simple go to plugin for me. (not sure why so many versions since 1.5 since the only thing that’s changed is the header comments).

   Does exactly what it says. Nothing more, nothing less. Absolutely no problems.

   This seems neat, but it does not protect all files. I tested: direct image URL.
