Description
Nextfly Domain Restricted Access allows you to restrict post and page access to specific email domains. Users must validate their email address via a unique magic link sent to their inbox.
This plugin is perfect for internal company portals, client-specific pages, or any content that should be accessible only to users with a specific email domain (e.g., @company.com).
Key Features:
* Domain-Based Restriction: Easily whitelist email domains for any post or page.
* Secure Magic Links: Users receive a time-sensitive, one-time-use access link via email.
* No Passwords Required: Simplifies user experience by eliminating the need for passwords.
* Customizable Emails: Configure the email subject and body template.
* Cookie-Based Access: Set how long access remains valid (default: 7 days).
* Developer Friendly: Includes hooks for extending functionality.

To Configure Settings:

FAQ

Can I use this for multiple domains?
-
Yes! You can enter multiple authorized domains for a single post/page, one per line.
-
How long does the access link last?
-
The magic link itself expires after 24 hours or after a single use. Once used, a cookie is set for the user, which remains valid based on your “Cookie Duration” setting (default 7 days).
-
Does this work with custom post types?
-
Yes, but you need to enable it. Use the
nfdra_post_typesfilter to add your custom post type slug to the supported list. See the “Developers” section for details.
