Hi

 

I have a scenario where I have a copy of my site into a subdirectory of the site and wonder if Admin Tools Pro can create a password protected folder there ? How to protect a subfolder to a Joomla installation in that folder Admin Tools Pro ?

 

So I have 2 instances of Joomla and Admin Tools Pro and want to protect with password the subfolder  ie   joomla/mainfolder/subfolderJoomla2

 

can admin tools pro do that?

Hello,

 

Admin Tools can only protect your "administrator" folder. If you want to add an extra username and password to a custom folder, you have to use your hosting control panel or an online tool like the following: https://www.web2generators.com/apache-tools/htpasswd-generator

Ok then I know that Admin Tools Pro can not protect a folder in Joomla folder itself front..

 

I know it can protect Joomlas backend folder :)

Cheers!
