    can anyone help me with this onethe only way i can see to make it work is getting another domain? cause i can only password protect the whole site.

    so if i get another site going i can password protect that and link to it?

    is this correct?

    my site is www.surfselectsave.com

    client id 19000

        what i dont get, is how now does that folder move into my site, i cant find it to create the link from my index page to the published pages contained in the new folder.

        i need to know the steps after that tutorial please.

          Hi,
          You 1st create a folder (also called a directory) Lets say you called this folder “acejase-private”
          You then a follow the instructions on making this folder password protected as per video.
          You then publish any pages you want to be protected into this folder.
          IE: Publish your pages to public_html/acejase-private/
          Onece published to this folder, the only way to see these pages is via the password page that will pop up.
          Regards Chris.
