opentype Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 You can put this in your robots.txtUser-agent: * Disallow: /test/But it’s just a recommendation to search engines. It’s much better to actually secure the test install itself with a password protection.

stig olsen Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 Thank you.I dont understand code, so it there anything else I can do? Password protect the site from the administration panel?Best, stig
opentype Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 The easiest solution for you might be to set your site in offline mode. Then it gets inaccessible for most, but as logged in admin you can use it as if it were online.
stig olsen Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 Hi, That sounds good, where can that be done? Can't find it in the admin panel.Best, Stig
Meddysong Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 The easiest solution for you might be to set your site in offline mode. Then it gets inaccessible for most, but as logged in admin you can use it as if it were online. Plus you can set permissions so that certain other groups can access it in offline mode too, which is how I'm running my site.
opentype Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Go to the ACP and enter “online” in the search field. It will take to there.
