Let the people access only the homepage of the website

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to let people access only my homepage?

we have the pre-opening tomorrow and I want the people to access the homepage when they type my website.

The other pages are still not done yet, so I dont want them to see anything else.

How can I do that?

Here is my URL:

Hi @abailea077 ,

You can add below codes to the theme.liquid file just above

This code will redirect all the users to the home page.

{% unless template contains 'index'  %}
      {% unless request.design_mode %}
        
      {% endunless %}        
    {% endunless %}
