  I’d like to password protect my whole portfolio section (/portfolio) of my site. I know I can individually password protect each project, but what about the whole section?

  Thanks!

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

  Hey Erika!

  Depending where you’ve placed your portfolio, you can use these instructions:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-visibility/

  Let me know if this works for you. If you have any trouble at all, will you provide me with a link to your portfolio so I might look further into your request?

  Thanks so much!

  I understand how to make individual pages password protected, however my question is about the potfolio content type. I would like that entire section to be password protected. Right now when you go to it you can see the list (of 1 right now) of my portfolio pages, but instead I would like the user to be prompted to enter a password to even see that listing. Ideally, the user would not see the names of the projects or any other content I put on that page without a password first.

  Thanks!

  Hi Erika!

  I see — unfortunately, there isn’t a way to password protect your portfolio page.

  If you want a work around, you can manually create a page and password protect it. Then, you can add individual images that link to your portfolio pages. I know it’s not as convenient as the auto-portfolio, but it is a possibility, with a bit more elbow grease.

  If you choose to go in that direction, and need a hand, let me know. Thanks!

  Ah ok, that’s unfortunate. If you want to send on some feedback, that feature I’m sure would be helpful to others too.

  Thanks!

  Erika,

  I will definitely pass the word along! Thanks for the feedback.

  If you have a moment, I also highly recommend you add your idea here:

  It’s always powerful to have developers read exactly what our users want…directly from your mouths (or, fingertips, as the case may be).

  Thanks again.
