Restrict access to WordPress site

How to make only certain IP addresses allowed to access my website. Currently I'm using wordpress. I want to make it so that if the user IP is not on the list the page will redirect to another site. Please help me.

You can use this WordPress plugin called Restricted Site Access.

If you're on an Apache server (and AllowOverride is enabled) you could do this by making a file called .htaccess in the directory you want to restrict access to and enter:

Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 1.2.3.4 # replace this with your IP

Alternatively you could do this in your main Apache configuration, with a <Directory> directive but you won't be able to do this if you're on shared hosting. (Bit of a mini-assumption there, hence the .htaccess solution)

There are also other methods, for example editing your PHP to check the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] value and die accordingly.
