Set Up Password-Protected Content

Frame is best set up for using a page-based visibility system rather than protecting individual calendar events, posts, or media items. This means you control what audiences see by creating pages with different privacy levels and filtering the content displayed on each page.

How It Works

When you want to display private content:

Create a password-protected page for members.
Use filtering options (event categories, post categories, or media tags) to display only specific items on that page. The specific items should maintain a “public” visibility setting.

Public pages work differently:

Use exclusion filters to hide the sensitive categories or tags. Again, the categories or tags will still be set to public in each item's visibility settings, but you’re excluding them from showing on public pages.
This works for events, posts or media.

Content Segmentation

This approach effectively segments your content for different audiences:

Public visitors see only approved items through filtered public pages that exclude sensitive categories.
Members access the complete collection through password-protected pages with no filters applied

With this set up, the individual calendar events and media items themselves remain technically public at their direct URLs or in search.

This means:

Anyone with a direct link could access them.
They won't appear in your site's navigation, listings, or search results for non-authenticated visitors.
They're effectively hidden from general browsing, but not encrypted or locked at the item level.
