Password protected pages

When creating posts and pages in VIUBlogs, you will be given the option to set the visibility on that post or page.

  • Public: available to everyone who has access to your site. If your site is restricted to members of the site or network, this includes public posts and pages. 
  • Private: only site administrations and editors of your site can view that post or page.
  • Password protected: anyone who visits the page or post must enter the password to see the content. Site administrators and editors can see the content without entering a password. Just like with public pages, only thos who can see your site will be able to have the opportunity to enter the password to see your content.
