Password Protecting Pages

  • I am using WordPress for its user database because I created a website with static html files that couldn’t be available for the world to see. Basically, you get to the WordPress sign in page and then once you have clicked “log in”, it links you to an html file that is hosted in the same directory as the WordPress files.

    The problem is that the html files are not protected by the WordPress password because if you type in the entire link (ex: mywebsite.com/not-protected-page.html), you can get onto the page.

    Is there some way of making it impossible to get to these html pages without passing by the WordPress Sign-in page?

    Why are you not using WordPress’ page functions? They can contain the html lines that you are using in your html file, possibly through the use of Custom Templates.

    WordPress will not protect non-wordpress files, simply because it doesn’t know it’s not there.

    Use WordPress for what it is, a Content Management System and you’ll have a more secure and yet easier time.
