Password protecting your pages
You can set up a password for each page on your website so that only specific subscribers get access to certain parts of your content.
To enable this feature, on the Primary navigation section on the sidebar, select the page where you wish to add password protection.
Then, in the page name block, select the option Password protection.
After selecting this option, enter the password that your subscribers or website visitors will have to enter to access the page.
If you want to change your password later on, just go back to this location and click “Password is already set. Click here to change it.”
