Installed – how to use?

    My apologies for being so new to this, but I do need help with Force Login.

    I installed the plugin on my GoDaddy web hosting site and looked around at all of the selections and cannot see where/how to use the plugin.
    Looked under ‘Appearance’, ‘Settings’, and everywhere else.

    I did activate the plugin.

    Created a page to see if the plugin would show up there.

    I am not creating a blog; it’s just a regular genealogy website that I want to keep private for my cousins.

    Thanks for your help.

    There is no “settings” page for this plugin in the WordPress admin panel; to use the plugin, you only need to activate it:
    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-force-login/installation/

    If the plugin is activated – then it’s on – and only logged-in users will be able to view site pages.

    If the plugin is deactivated – then it’s off – and not forcing anyone to login.

    Thank you for your response.
    I was testing within my GoDaddy account: preview site.

    I just launched the site without logging in to GoDaddy and did come up with a login page.

    However, I don’t think the plugin is what I was looking for.
    My other site I built from scratch using Visual Studio on a PC.
    I created a login page and there was a database with valid logins. In my case, I had only one that I gave out to the cousins and other assorted relatives.

    I tested the plugin using my WordPress admin credentials for the site builder and got in.

    Is this what you expected?
    Thanks

    Actually, I got into the admin panel. Surely don’t want to give that out.

    Is there another kind of plugin you have that would meet my needs?

    Just tried adding a new user as subscriber, but that didn’t seem to work either.
    And tried W-P Membership Framework. Way more than I need.
    I’ll keep looking around.

    I am using a combination of new user and Theme My Login.
    Maybe yours will do the same. I will look into it.

    Thanks
