Hi! I'm new to this forum. I have not used Webalbum Generator yet. I am also new to web publishing. Is there a way to keep the albums from being viewed by just anyone who visits the website? For instance, can the album be made so that it can be viewed only by those who have a password? Thanks!

Hi Boatman,

Yes! This is possible; but it's a feature of your web server, and not Web Album Generator itself. Most (but not all) web servers will allow you to password protect your files using a file called ".htaccess".

Doing a web search for ".htaccess" will result in quite a few pages with instructions on how to set this up. Good luck!
