Real reviews from the WordPress.org community
"The team at Prevent Direct Access helped me find a custom solution that I wouldn't have been able to complete without their help. They were responsive, kind, and came to a solution that worked well on the website."
"Muhammad and the PPWP team are very helpful. We had an issue with caching and anchor tags not working on our website. PPWP investigated the issue immediately and provided us with some custom code snippets to fix the website within 24 hours."
"I am extremely happy with simplicity and effectiveness of even this free product. The support I received from Quinnie was phenomenal and unusual for a free product. She was patient and persistent in helping and solving the issue. Thanks."
"PPWP adds password protection options not found in WP. It was essential for us to block password protected pages from our RSS feed, which PPWP does great. Furthermore, WPFolio support was fast and very helpful identifying what, in the end, was my mistake and not an issue with their plugin."
"This plug-in instantly protected my files from Google crawl bots and hide my files from google search. Plug-in is really easy to use, and the customer support is wonderful and very responsive."
"The plugin and extensions really do block file access as much as possible. In addition, support has been great, and I appreciate the option to buy lifetime access instead of paying for an inevitably-increasing yearly subscription."
