  My static welcome page does not lead the reader to other pages I have created. How do I get it to lead firstly to my password protected page, after they get the password somehow and then to other pages. There was a menu icon, but that has disappeared and while I don’t want it on my welcome page I would like it to appear on the other pages so that readers can navigate around once they have provided their email on the welcome page. Also I would like to know where to find the list of emails that have been provided. Thank you for reading.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  If I understand correctly, you’re looking to create something like the following:

  1. Reader visits Welcome page and enters email address.

  2. Once the reader enters their email, they receive the password.

  3. Once they’ve entered the password, they have access to all other pages on your site.

  Correct?

  That would be a bit tricky. You currently have the contact form on your homepage to collect email addresses. We can remove the menu item from the homepage so visitors wouldn’t see your other pages initially. The difficult part is transitioning the to the other pages once they have the password. Perhaps we could do this:

  1. Keep the welcome page as it is but use CSS to hide the menu option on that page

  2. Beneath your contact form, have a link to a “Getting Started” page that’s password protected.

  3. Once the reader enters the password their, they can see a list of your other pages.

  Would that work?

  Also I would like to know where to find the list of emails that have been provided.

  You can see that list here:
