Jack_mcs Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The only way to do that and still be able to work on it is to password protect it.

If it's not THAAAT important whether someone stumbles on to the page or not, you can add an index.html to the CATALOG page. So if your store is located on mysite.com/catalog/, you can add the index.html file there and people will see that file when they go to your store, not index.php. Great for quick fixes, like if you're testing a new design layout. - Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is everyone has been finding my site through search engines only and I can't keep them away. I know that everyone is wonder what my store could possibly be but don't worry I'll release that info shortly. For now though, I will password protect the directory, that'll close all pages. Thanks for your help guys. man of a reformed faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
