How to Protect specific page with only password?

Hi everyone,

I know that this question was already asked a few years ago but not having found the answers sought I allow myself to ask this question again.
I am trying to protect a single page with a password. I know admin plugin can do that but only with a link account no? 🙄

I've find this plugin private_plugins But I am not strong enough on grav to get the plugins activated only on the page I want. 😔

Thanks for reading me

Hi @frenchbeta

You can use the Login plugin. Here is the link to the doc

https://learn.getgrav.org/16/cookbook/general-recipes#create-a-private-area

I haven't tried myself but it seems pretty straightforward.

Here is the link to the plugin page

https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-login

Tell me if you managed to create a private page.

Hi, @AlexMart thank you for your answer,

I know it can be with the login plugin but I don't want to create a user account, just ask for a password to display a speficic page.
And it seems to me that the admin plugin asks for a username to display the desired page and not just a password no?

Hey,

So I've check the doc of the private_plugin and it's not very clear how private page works but I figured out. I've check the closed issues and a lot of people had the same issue.

So after installing the private plugin copy/past the private.yaml to your user/config/plugins folder and open it. Then change the line private_site:true to private_site:false.

Then you can go on individual page and add this to the header :

---
title: Home //exemple
taxonomy:
  tag: hidden
---

If it's not working try to logout first with the url yoursite.com/logout

Tell me if it woks for your.

Oh thank you very much, I forgot the "taxonomy": that's why the plugins didn't work before ! 🙂

It's really nice of you for helping me.

Just one last question, how can I change the password?

OK,
Thanks again for your help, have a nice day ! 😃
