  How can I make a section of my site subject to a password–both pages and the subpages under the parent page? Now, I can create a top menu page called Members Only and make it subject to a password, but any subpages I put under it are still open to anyone.

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

  Hi there!

  The Visibility area of the Publish module gives you the option to make a page public, password protected, or completely private. Here’s more information on making a page password protected:

  Since there is no setting to make subpages follow the visibility of the parent page, you would have to set up password protection on each individual subpage too.

  I hope that clarifies things! Let me know if you have any questions.

  Does this apply to all themes or just the ones I am using?

  Some themes do display posts in a summary format, but by using the More tag, you can have that same summary format regardless of your theme choice.

  I hope that clarifies things!
