Hi, one of the menu points of our site should lead to a password secured area. I Thought, sites you can only reach via a password secured site are part of an enclosed section. But when I searched our site in the web those sites were offered by the browser without the need of a password. They should not be visible for the public. So this doesn’t work. What is the correct method for building a safe area behind a secured entrance?
Thanks for help!
Hey Svlf1,
Thank you for the inquiry.
But when I searched our site in the web those sites were offered by the browser without the need of a password.
How can we reproduce the issue? Have you tried setting the visibility of the page to Private or Password Protected? Please provide the link to the page with the issue and review the documentation below.

Ismaelhi,
this is the link to the secured page. that works. after entering the password there is two links to sites with internal content. Because of the described problem I secured them also with the password once I discovered that they were visible with google search. now you have to enter the password again to reach those pages. But that is not what I wanted. The idea is that the pages behind the password wall are visible only for members without having to use the password again. Setting visibility on “private” seems also not to solve the problem, if I understood the description correctly. “Private – Pages are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators.” And I checked that out, it doesn’t work. So there must be another way to handle that. A special tool for example.best regards Ulf
Hi,
Thank you for the update.
What is the password? Could you provide a keyword or a screenshot of the search results? If you want to block search engines from crawling this specific page, you can install an SEO plugin such as Yoast, All in One SEO, or Rank Math and set the page to noindex. Please check the link below:
