Gozer makes your entire WordPress site private by requiring visitors to log in before they can see any content. Perfect for intranets, membership sites, development environments, or any site that needs restricted access.

FAQ
-
Will this break my site?
-
The plugin is designed with safe defaults. Critical functionality like REST API, WP-Cron, and AJAX are allowed by default to prevent breaking the block editor or scheduled tasks.
-
Can search engines still index my site?
-
Yes, if you enable the “Allow search engine crawlers” option. Major search engine bots (Google, Bing, etc.) will be able to access and index your content.
-
How do I allow specific pages to be public?
-
Go to Settings > Gozer and add paths to the “Allowed paths” field. Enter one path per line, like
/contact/or/about/. -
How do I whitelist an entire IP range?
-
Use CIDR notation (e.g.,
192.168.1.0/24for a /24 subnet) or wildcards (e.g.,192.168.*for all IPs starting with 192.168). -
How do bypass tokens work?
-
Generate a token in Settings > Gozer, then share the generated URL. Anyone with that link can access the site without logging in until the token expires.
-
Can I use it on a multisite network?
-
Yes, the plugin works on multisite installations. Each site can have its own configuration.
-
Why “Gozer”?
-
Gozer the Gozerian is the supernatural entity from Ghostbusters (1984) who asked “Are you a god?” before denying access to mere mortals. Just like our plugin does with your site visitors.
