I have a password protected page on my site, which is a gallery of photographs of individual choir members. If images are named by people's actual names in the Assets List, does this mean that a search for, say, 'Annie image', would find that photograph? (The image captions are people's names as well, but I'm presuming these wouldn't be found by a search...?) With thanks. |

Content on a page that is password protected can not be seen by search engines so they will not appear in them. However, if you accidentally publish without password protecting or you put the images on another page they may get added to a search engine's index. You can add this code to the Page Settings tab in the Inspector in the Head Code field; <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> You can learn more about this code if you are interested here; https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93710?hl=en ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

Thank you very much, Paul. An additional, related, question: Sitemap Automator is flagging this password protected page as 404 not found. Is that what should happen if anyone tries to access it by mistake? Is there a way of redirecting visitors from that page, rather than their getting a 404? Thanks. Ah - have just discovered that if I click on the link to the password protected page, if I click 'cancel' rather than fill in the password, then as well as an 'Authorisation required' message, it says "Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

| That page could end up indexed, or the items on that page if someone copies it to another website that isn't protected. | |
