Hi All,

I recently built a website using WordPress, its super simple and only uses three plugins. I am super new to WordPress.
  • Elementor
  • Starter Templates
  • WPForms Lite
During the build I added a Username and Password login (no plugin) so people couldn't access the site while I was building.

Now that I am done I cannot seem to remove the login authentication, all pages have their Visiblity set to public which makes me think something has got messed up in the code.

Would anyone know how to fix this,I am hoping there is some code I can adjust somewhere.
 
Thanks for your reply ChroniC.

Below is the link to my site, you will notice it asks for a User Name and Login.

I may be being a complete noob but I cannot see anywhere else in Elementor or the WPAdmin panel to turn this off, obviously I know the credentials but its useless for others trying to access the site.

In WPAdmin > Pages > Edit all pages are set to Public under the Status & Visitbility options.
 
Thanks landyvlad, I don't have the WP Maintenance Mode plugin so I don't think it is that.

All of my pages are Public and as far as I can tell are published.

Just briefly looking on my phone, this looks very much like a cPanel password. Did you apply this when you setup the site? It's basically adds password protect to a directory, normally wp-content.
This is a guide on how to turn it on and off. Take a look and see if this is the problem.

OMG you legend!!!

That is exactly what it was! The weird thing is I NEVER applied that setting in CPANEL, I did it in WP under Page Settings.
