Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records EDH Restricted Site version 2.2.1 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
EDH Restricted Site gates access to your entire WordPress site behind a simple email-domain verification flow.
Visitors enter their email address via a shortcode or Gutenberg block. If their email’s domain is on your configured allow-list, they receive a verification link by email that is valid for one hour. Opening it grants them a cookie-based access pass for a period you control.
Anyone without that pass is redirected to the verification form. Users who can manage options always have full access, regardless of settings.
Features
Email-domain allow-list, managed from an admin settings page (one domain per line)
Choose which pages are exempt from the access check (e.g. the verification page itself, a privacy policy page)
Verification form available as a shortcode ( [edhrs_verification_form] ) or as a block (“Email Verification Form”)
Configurable “From” address for verification emails
Configurable access-cookie duration
Configurable rate limiting on verification emails, per address and per IP address
Configurable button colour via WordPress’s native colour picker
A verification-request log (linked from the Settings page and the Plugins screen) showing each email requested and whether its link has been used, with automatic retention-based cleanup
No build tooling required
