    Hi, I just set-up amember and I'm able to protect folders with no problem. Now what I'm trying to do is protect the a web-page so that only subscribed users have access. The page is actually a php file. I need to protect the FILE ONLY since it's in my main domain folder and moving it would be very problematic.

    How can I do this? seems like aMember only protects folders.

    Use the php_include protection method.

    Can not protect a html page

    new_rewrite (RewriteRule doesn't work in .htaccess files on this server)


    Anyway to do it if not a folder?

    You can place html page to a folder and protect folder.
    In regards to error, contact hosting support and ask to make sure that:
    1. mod_rewrite is enabled
    2. AllowOverride is set to All in server config for your site.
