How Do I Password Protect a Weebly Site Without Pro?

Last updated on December 31, 2022 @ 3:42 am

There are a few ways to password protect your Weebly site without upgrading to Pro. One way is to create a custom login page.

To do this, create a new page on your Weebly site and call it “Login”. Then, add the following code to the “Page Settings” > “Advanced” > “Custom CSS” box:

#login input[type="submit"] {
  display: none;}

Next, add a Heading element to your Login page and type in something like “Please enter your password”. Then add a Text element beneath the Heading and insert the following code:

<form action="http://yourwebsite.Weebly.com/login" method="post">
<input type="password" name="password" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
</form> 

Replace “yourwebsite.com” with your actual Weebly website address. Now, when someone goes to your Weebly site, they will be redirected to the Login page where they will need to enter a password before they can view any other pages on your site.

PRO TIP: If you are using the free version of Weebly, you will not be able to password protect your site. This means that anyone who knows the URL of your site will be able to access it. If you would like to keep your site private, you will need to upgrade to a paid plan.

Another way to password protect your Weebly site without upgrading to Pro is by using a third-party service like “Password Protect WordPress Sites”. This service works with any type of website, not just WordPress sites. It’s a paid service, but it does offer a free trial.

Once you sign up for the service, you’ll be given a snippet of code to insert into your website’s header. Once that’s done, anyone who tries to visit your site will be prompted to enter a password. The service also allows you to track how many people are trying to access your site and how many of them are successfully logging in.

Conclusion:

So those were two ways you can password protect your Weebly site without upgrading to Pro. The first method requires some technical knowledge, while the second method is easier but requires a paid subscription.
