Hello,

I am hoping to get some help with an issue. I need to add a new page to my website that is not available to everyone viewing the site. I essentially want people to be able to type in a specific web address and be directic to a private page. How do I go about doing this without adding a link to my nav or a button on any of the pages??

Thank you!!!

Just don't put the link in public, and only give your friend the private link?

OR add password protection?

Not giving out the link usually doesn't do it anymore -- search engines can see all these days. Google was able to find a site of mine to which I never gave out the link within a week of setting it up.

You can add password-protection using .htaccess and .htpasswd files (this method usually requires an Apache server to work). There's a good guide available on how to do this that I followed in password-protecting my site.

Of course, this assumes that you can upload files to the site you're running.
