Hello,
What’s the best way to have a member login page as the first page of the website? Anyone visiting the URL will see nothing but a member login form - only after successful login will they be able to view the website pages.
Many thanks
Martin

Hey there Shoot the Moon,
Thank you for posting your question.
Just FYI, bumps do not work. The threads go into our support queue in the order they were received.
The best way to really lock down a site is you use the htaccess file and htpassword. That will prevent anyone from going around the login.
.htaccess would look similar to
AuthUserFile /usr/el/shane/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Site"
Require valid-userand .htpasswd like
shane:n5MfEoHOIQkKgIs there anything else I can help you with?
Cheers,
