  Hi all,

  I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me if it’s possible to create a private or password protected gallery using the FREE Sketch theme.

  My idea is to allow clients to view and choose pics via this type of gallery.

  Here’s to hoping that I can!!! :-)

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

  Hi hadacreativa

  Private Galleries are not a thing here in WordPress.com, but what you can do is to make a whole post private, accessed only with a password. In that way, you can create a post that has the said gallery and provide the password only to the client in question.

  The downside is that the images still are indexed by search engines, and if your client shares the image with someone, they would be able to view it…

  Please refer to https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-visibility/ to understand how you can do that.

  Hope that helps.
