Hi,

I've been recently working on my website. Searching around, it seems there is no way to password protect an entire category. So what I'm wondering is, (I'm not very familiar with CSS so please bear with my description of what I need help with) is there a way for me to add a password onto a link/page so that when I click upon it/enter that page, it prompts a password first? I feel this would provide easier access than password protecting each gallery.

For example, what I would like to happen is that when visitors click upon the 'Family' link on my navbar which links to the family category, or if they are on that page, to be prompted for a password.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

If you use the same password on every gallery your viewers will only be prompted for a password one time. Using your example above, you would assign the same password for all galleries in the Family category.
