This plugin will limit access to the site. Only visitors with a cookie token will be able to access the public website. Visitors without the cookie will see a \"coming soon\" style of page.<\/p>\n\n

You can customise the \"coming soon\" content, and you can change the way tokens work. Visit yoursite.com\/?add_token to receive the token allowing you to see the site. To remove the limited access, simply disable this plugin.<\/p>\n\n

By default, the token is \"letmein\". So use these links:\nsite.com?letmein\nsite.com?takemeoff<\/p>\n\n

This plugin is useful when you're developing your site. You can work on your live web server without having your site open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n
