Create A Password Protected LIVE Development Staging Area

I use this on all new sites! Hope you enjoy the video. Let me know if you use a live staging area or development on localhost?

Looks like a good solution. Just curious how this approach differs or is better than using something like the Password Protected plugin by WPExperts or similar?

very helpful! thank you.

CNN left out the most important part. This fact check was brought to you by the soros foundation.

Personally I use .htaccess whitelisting, but always good to have options.

I hope you make more videos this year

Interesting approach. I think storing any sensitive information in browser session storage is not a good practice.

Don’t most hosting providers have functionality for securing access to a site? A site I support does, and I do not believe it is a mainstream hosting provider, so I would be surprised if other hosts did not have similar functionality.

Assuming the hosting provider has the capability mentioned above, that would, in my view, be a better solution, as that would happen before anything from the site loads, regardless of if the site is WordPress based or some other platform.

To me, something is better than nothing, but just be careful you understand the possible limits. For some sites, this is may not be much of a concern, but if someone really wants to get in, the session provides a potential attack surface.

Hi Joshua , kindly explain how PHP future in 2023 and coming years.
