thanks both of you… this helped me out a lot.
i was thinking way to complex ??
both solutions work fine….
i got the site protected, but…. can i then combine it with one of the “member” plugins?
now people can login, thats great, but i dont want to display the top bar after login, and i dont want them to access the /wp-admin/profile.php page etc.
idealy i use a custom (front end) login and front end pages for editing there profile etc.
got any tips on a good, not to complex plugin for this?
thanks so far for the help!
