Password protect site except for one page

Server NGINX
1

Hi folks,

Does anyone have a nifty solution for this? The problem is that it’s a
wordpress site, so just

location / {
auth_basic “Coming soon…”;
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/security/lock;
…
}

location /demo {
auth_basic off;
…
}

doesn’t work for /demo due to static content, etc.

The only way I can think of is to directly lock the other pages rather
than /

thoughts?

location /static {} ?

What are the urls that you do want to password-protect, and what are
the urls that you do not want to password-protect?

(“one page” appears not to be “one url”.)

Alternatively, could you put all of your “demo” content below /demo?
