MainWP Dashboard Lock Extension

Managing several WordPress sites through one MainWP Dashboard puts sensitive administration pages in one place. This extension adds access controls to the dashboard area, including wp-admin and wp-login.php. Site managers can limit entry to trusted IP addresses, giving agencies and developers a way to define who can reach these pages.

For an additional access check, the extension can require a secondary username and password. It can also redirect visitors who are not on the IP allowlist away from the protected pages. These settings are managed through the MainWP Dashboard, so the extension suits teams seeking dashboard access controls without changing .htaccess files or configuring the server.

Features

• IP address allowlist: Limit access to wp-admin pages and wp-login.php to trusted IP addresses, so only visitors from the addresses you specify can reach them.
• Secondary login: Require a separate username and password for wp-admin access, adding another login check for people using changing IP addresses.
• Redirect other visitors: Send visitors who are not on the IP allowlist to a different destination instead of letting them view protected admin pages.
• Multiple IP entries: Add as many IP addresses as needed to the allowlist, accommodating teams whose members connect from different locations.
• Dashboard settings: Manage the extension's access settings through the MainWP Dashboard, without making changes to .htaccess files or configuring the server.
• Masked password fields: Password fields use masked placeholders with contextual hints for the last character, helping administrators identify the field while entering credentials.

Best for

• Agencies managing WordPress sites through MainWP
• Developers who administer multiple WordPress sites
