Password protect forums

[Scott Dixon]

My license allows 1 install of xenforo with the exception of a test site which I need to password protect. I can't find an option for this in admin, is there one, or should I just use htaccess or something similiar?

Just use .htaccess or use usergroup permissions to restrict everything to guests, and disallow registration; you can manually register any support staff who may need to access it.

You can use this guide to password protect a directory: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...d-the-install-directory-using-htaccess.13768/
