It's particularly useful when deploying beta or staging environments to make the site inaccessible to the public and also protect it from being crawled and indexed by search bots. Installation ------------ [](#installation) - Download the zip file from the repository - Login to your WordPress admin dashboard - Go to "Plugins" -> "Add New" - Upload the zip file and WordPress will install the plugin - Activate the plugin to password protect your site Installation via Composer ------------------------- [](#installation-via-composer) Run the following command to install the plugin via Composer ``` composer require affilipoint.com/igniterauth ``` How to use the plugin --------------------- [](#how-to-use-the-plugin) Once activated your site will be automatically protected with the HTTP Authentication prompting you to enter a username and password. **`Note: If you are already logged in as the admin, you won't be requested to enter a username and password.`** ### Default login credentials [](#default-login-credentials) By default you can authenticate by using any WordPress user credentials for your site. If the credentials are valid you will be logged in. ### Create a custom username and password [](#create-a-custom-username-and-password) If you wish to give access to users who do not have an account on your site, you can create a custom username and password. To do so: - Go to the plugin settings **`Settings > IgniterAuth`** - Check '**Custom username & password**' - Enter a username / password of your choice and click on '**Save Changes**' button [![alt text](includes/screenshot.png)](includes/screenshot.png) ### Enable 'noindex' header [](#enable-noindex-header) YOu can also add a `noindex` meta tag and `X-Robots-Tag: noindex` in the header of your site by enabling it in the settings. This will discourage search bots to index your site. Removing HTTP authentication site lock -------------------------------------- [](#removing-http-authentication-site-lock) To remove the site lock authentication, simply deactivate the plugin and your site will be accessible to the public. All your settings will be saved is you choose to re-activate the plugin again. Production environments ----------------------- [](#production-environments) On production environment, there is a failsafe to bypass the HTTP authentication even if the plugin is active or activated accidentally. To enable the failsafe go to the plugin settings and select `Production` for the `Site environment` setting. With the `production` environment enabled, HTTP authentication will never be active on the production environment even if the plugin is activated. ### Health Score 21 — LowBetter than 19% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity46 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 50% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
