Protect your pages with a password

It is now possible to protect your pages with a password. Those pages will only be readable by the visitors who know the page secret code.
This functionnality is available for all the Premium and Pro websites.


Do you want to protect some of your pages?
It is really simple. Go to the site builder tootl and select the page you want to be private. he page properties are displayed on the bottom left of the page (cf. image on the right).
Click on the "Private page" button to open the Security Manager (cf. image below).

Select "Page protected with a password", choose the secret code your visitors will have to enter to be able to see this page, and validate by clicking on the "Submit changes" button.
The last step is simply to publish your website.

You can now visit your website and you will notice that you can not see the content of your protected page unless you enter the secret code. The password is recorded for 24 hours ; thus, your visitors will not have to enter it again to read this page in the mean time.

You can set private as many pages as you want, and choose a different password for each page. However, we advice you to keep the first page of your site public.
If you want to keep the page secret and if you do not want your visitors to feel lost, it may be a good idea to remove this page from the menu. To do so, simply untick the "Appear in the menu" checkbox in the page properties.
