Is there a way to set OJS for private viewing only during the development stage?

I would like to keep other people from viewing and searching my site before it is formally launched. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi @Paul_Chen,

The most effective way to do this is to use a .htaccess file, either limiting access to your IP address or asking for basic authentication. Have a look at this guide for Apache.
