Custom Login & Access 2.2.0 – WordPress Plugin

Custom Login & Access is a WordPress plugin that centralizes login, registration, and front-end access control in one place. It helps you manage how visitors authenticate, where they can view content, and what they see after signing in or out. Instead of scattering shortcodes or multiple pages, you can place login, register, and forgotten-password forms on a page or display them as modal forms.

With this plugin, you can restrict pages, posts, post types, categories, taxonomies, or all content for non-logged-in users. It also controls WP dashboard access for subscriber-level users, supports login/registration redirects, and lets users set their own password during registration. Built with match captcha for the login, registration, and forgotten forms, it’s kept up to date for reliable compatibility with current WordPress versions.

Main Features

• Add login, register, and forgotten forms to a page — Place authentication forms directly where you want visitors to access them.
• Modal login and register forms — Show sign-in and sign-up dialogs without leaving the current page.
• Front-end access restriction — Limit content visibility for non-logged-in users across your site.
• Granular content targeting — Restrict specific pages, posts, post types, categories, taxonomies, or all content.
