Restrict access to wordpress site using htaccess

June 7, 20231 Views

Just would like to ask how can I restrict access to my WordPress site using .htaccess file?

I have seen sites that teaches how to protect the admin side of a WordPress site like this one:

http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/9-most-useful-htaccess-tricks-for-wordpress/

But how about the entire site from the homepage itself?

Just follow the link that you posted and put this in the htaccess file in your document root:
```
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "WordPress Admin Access Control"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
```
except replacing the AuthUserFile with the path of the htpasswd file that you generated.

That’s all.
