Sporty has a feature that allows you to set pages to be private/members only so they are only visible in your website menu to people who have entered a member's password after clicking the Members link that will appear at the bottom of your website:
This is a premium feature. Once you have subscribed for it, you can set a Members Password by logging into your site and click Site Settings from the top right of your site, then click Members Password:
This displays a pop-up box for you to set or change your members password:
You can set any of your website pages to be private/members only. To do this, simply click on the pencil button that appears when your mouse hovers over a page in your menu, then click Private:
This sets the page to be invisible to people until they have clicked the Members link at the bottom of your site and entered your members password:
If you change your mind about a page and want to revert it back to being publicly visible to all your website visitors, simply click on the pencil button that appears when your mouse hovers over a private page in your menu, then click Public:
Remember that when you are logged into Sporty as a website administrator, you will already be able to see all pages regardless of whether or not they are set as private/members only. Therefore, if you want to test how it works for your members, log out of Sporty (by clicking your username at the top right of the screen, then click Log Out).
Then look at your website menu and you will notice that the pages you set to be Private are not visible. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Members, then enter the password you created earlier. Now look at your website menu and you will notice that the pages you set to be Private have become visible.
Note: There is one password for all private pages in your main website menu. If you are using subsites (microsites), you can set one password for each separate subsite if you wish. Do this by visiting the subsite and follow the same steps through the Site Settings > Manage Password area for the subsite as described above.
What's the difference between Hidden pages, Concealed pages and Private pages?
Pages set to be Hidden do not appear in your website menu to anyone other than website administrators when logged into Sporty. Even if a visitor knows the URL address of a hidden page and tries to visit it directly, they will be unable to see the page content. This is useful for pages that are under construction or content that you want completely hidden from the public and from Google. Learn how to Hide a page.
Pages set to be Concealed do not appear in your website menu but can be reached by anyone that knows the URL address of the concealed page and visits it directly. This is useful if you wish to simplify the public view of your menu by reducing the items that display there, and instead use a link or button that people click to reach your page. Learn how to Conceal a page.
Pages set to be Private do not appear in your website menu until a visitor enters the Members password for your website or subsite as described in the article above.
