PanSevence Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Is it possible to disable access to the website without logging in, forcing users to log in to see the homepage? However, in that case, search engine robots will not see the page, new topics, and they will not be indexed. Is there a way to solve this, or am I mistaken?

teraßyte Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 No. If you allow search engines to see something, and block guests simultaneously, Google (and others too I believe?) will penalize your site in results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexWebsites Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I wonder sometimes how news sites get ranked and indexed behind pay walls. Completely unfair in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to incorporate this but have it so users need to login to view topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
