private pages and access - not working
 

Hi there

I have created a download page that takes my clients from pay pal to a complimentary download - however, existing clients who I want to give the same downloads to are unable to access this page.

I have set 'no follow' and 'no index' as I don't want google to take any notice of the page and I want to keep it hidden.

I also set it as private - is that why people cant access this from the url link?

Is it enough to simply add 'no follow' and 'no index' to ensure people wont find my downloads?

If I were to set the page to require a password - how does that work with wordpress - do I provide the password? Does this happen automatically?

Is there a better way to set this up?

Much appreciate your help

If it is set to private, then only people who are members on your site can access teh page. If you set a password, then anyone you give teh password to will have access. You set the password.

Thanks Nick

I think I get it now - I can either make private and give a password or leave the private off and they can use the link

I need to adjust this asap so thanks for the help
