leadstreet's technical blog

Add a popup login in your HubSpot blog!

Written by Johan Vantomme | 16 November 2018

A HubSpot blog can not be staged, and is always directly live. Sometimes you want to keep it a little secret so you can finish the design the first articles before everybody can admire it. This module can help you out!

This module doesn't affect to your SEO because it won't block the content from displaying. This module will display a popup asking for the password on the top of your content.

This module is not the most secured way to protect your content. The module asks for a password when the blog is accessed and set a cookie. A password is not asked when you access the HubSpot CMS.

If you are looking to lock your blog on a real login you can ask us for a quote. But that solution won't be useful for most of the blogs (because won't be indexed by any search engine like Google).

This module can be used in your blog template
