How do I find this file please

  • Hi

    I am trying to establish a private member section in a site I am building for a charity and have established the first page of the member section with access by password only.

    When I tested the lead in I was faced with a page that requested the password – great. However I am not too happy with the wording and would like to change it and put the charity logo on it also. The page is titled https://eac.eu.com/newsite/member-log-in but I cannot find this page in the pages contained in the dashboard, I also looked through the phpAdmin in the cpanel although the site is being built directly in wordpress and still could not find it.

    If I enter the password the correct page opens i.e member only page but I cannot get into that mamber log-in page has anyone any idea how I can get to it to change the text please.

    For example there is no where to request a new password and if I use the WordPress pages I can register and get a password set but this would allow members of the public to access these pages (which will contain financial data as well as other things) and the charity admin is not involved with setting passwords.#

    Sorry, trying to be as clear as possible but if you want any more detail please let me know. It is urgent that I solve this as the charity want to launch their new site soon. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks

  • First, identify what membership plugin you are using and then post in that plugin’s dedicated forum via its page in the Plugin Repository.

    Hi Esmi thanks for coming back so quick. I am not using a membership plug in. I have simply added a password protected page so where on the right hand side where you select what Piublishing detail you want I entered password protected and entered the password.
    Status: Published Edit
    Visibility: Password protected Edit

    This causes WordPress to ask for the password if anyone tries to access this page from the main navigation menu. That is where this page comes up with the URL I quoted, it is this page I want to access and cannot find.

    Hope this clears this up for you and thanks again. I am now passed the going grey and am at the stage of computer flying out of window.:-)

    If you wish to establish a members only section of the site, then you will need a suitable membership plugin. Password protected Posts and Pages are not really suitable for the kind of site you describe.

    Mmmmmm Thanks Esmi I will try that to see if that solves my little problem
    I thought by password protecting that would do as I only want to stop general site visitors from accessing information that should be just for members eyes only.

    thnks for your hel;p

    kind regards
