  I have a publicly visible website, but want to serve my local membership more directly. I would like to be able to have a Members Only section that requires a login to access files of interest to my membership.

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

  Hi @balimoresa! You could add a new page (name it Members Only or whatever you like) and make that specific page private.

  Go to “My Site” down to “Pages” select the page you want to protect. On the top right you will see an eye icon, select it and then you can choose between public, private or password protected.

  Even when you add this page to your menu, if someone who has not been granted access clicks on the page, they won’t have visability.

  Hope this helps!

  I apologize. I missed a step in the below.

  >Go to “My Site” down to “Pages” select the page you want to protect. On the top right you will see an eye icon, select it and then you can choose between public, private or password protected.

  After you select the page you want to protect on the top right you have to click on status to see the Eye and change the privacy settings.
