## Instalación

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/simple-password-protect/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. Go to Settings > Password Protect to configure the plugin
 4. Set your password and enable protection
 5. Customize the appearance and legal page links as needed

## FAQ

### Does this work with caching plugins?

Yes, the plugin is designed to work with most caching plugins. The password form
is displayed before any cached content.

### Can WordPress administrators bypass the password?

Yes, logged-in WordPress users with administrator privileges can access the site
without entering the password.

### Is the password stored securely?

Yes, passwords are hashed using WordPress’s secure password hashing functions, the
same method used for user passwords.

### Is my site hidden from search engines?

Yes. While protection is active, visitors and search engines only see the password
page, which is marked noindex, nofollow. The REST API is closed as well. Uploaded
media files (images, PDFs) are served directly by your web server and remain reachable
if someone has the direct link.

### Can I customize the appearance?

Yes, you can upload a custom logo, change colors, and modify the text displayed 
on the password page.

### What about GDPR compliance?

The plugin includes options to link to your Legal Disclosure and Privacy Policy 
pages, which open in modal windows for GDPR compliance.
