Closes the site to visitors who are not signed in. You choose what stays public.
Requirements
- ShopClass 6.1.0 or later
- PHP 8.0 or later
Install
- Open Plugins → Browse (or upload the zip from the GitHub release).
- Install.
- Activate.
Set up
- Open Plugins → Manage plugins, then Settings next to Registered Users Only.
- Tick the areas that stay open to signed-out visitors. Everything not ticked is closed.
| Area | Default |
|---|---|
| Static pages (terms, privacy notice, imprint) | open |
| Contact form | open |
| Browsing and search (category listings, search results, sellers' public profiles) | closed |
| Individual listings | closed |
- Save.
How it works
- A signed-out visitor who asks for a closed page goes to the registration page with a message saying why.
- These are always open: sign in, register, password recovery, account activation, the error page, the sitemap, the feeds, the ajax endpoints, the cron entry point and a signed-in user's own account pages.
Notes / limits
- Closing browsing and listings hides them from search engines too, since a crawler is a signed-out visitor.
- The redirect is cached for up to 30 seconds. A longer page cache, such as the nginx Cache plugin's, is purged on ShopClass 6.4.2 and later. On older versions, a page cached before activation can show for one cache window.
- Derived from the Osclass "Registered users only" plugin (0.9.3). See CHANGELOG.md.

What's new in 2.1.0
Fixed
- A page cached by nginx before the site was closed kept being served to signed-out visitors (fully purged on ShopClass 6.4.2 and later).
- A seller's public profile was open to signed-out visitors; it now follows the browsing setting.
Changed
- The redirect to the registration page may be cached for 30 seconds, and its notice no longer needs a cookie.
- Activating, deactivating and saving settings purge the page cache when core supports it.
