Too many problems
by jpluttme·2 days ago

Unfortunately had too many problems. It worked at first, but would just stop working when doing password lists. Tried using a single password for protected areas, which worked until the plugin was updated, and then stopped. A support ticket submitted via the website wasn’t answered promptly, so I had to switch to another plugin that worked reliably. The number of issues I had with the paid version just made me look bad to my clients, who were never pleased when the plugin stopped working.

Incompatible

It doesn’t always work every now and then due to a “Security Check Failed” error for no reason

Average Plugin
by FZietsman·1 year ago

This plugin worked fine, but suddenly I get the error “Sorry there was an error” message on all content. I even changed the password, same error. Re-Installed the pluginm, Tried different browsers and private window, nothing works.

So far the plugin works as described, the only issue I have at this stage is that if you have a password protected section at the bottom of a page and you enter the password to display the content, it basically refreshed the whole page and jumps right to the top of the page again, meaning you will need to scroll all the way down to the content again.
