   I'm using the default home page in Twenty Eleven theme. I want to keep this page but I also want to restrict access to it. Since this page is not listed, I cannot set the visibility to private.

   How do I set the home page restriction level to subscriber?

   what about using a specific page instead?
   I'd prefere to see an explanation why I' can't get access to certain pages.

   I just wanted to protect the visibility of the default index.php of the theme in case someone manually types it on the url.

   What php code can I add to set the visibility to private.

   There's no real content in the index.php. This page only loads the wordpress core which loads the theme etc.

   So you can't and don't need to set the visibility here. WordPress takes care of the security with internal mechanisms.

   Therefore you define a static homepage in settings/reading and then you can change the visibility for this and any other page that needs to be private or password protected.

   If this is not good enough, I'd recommand to go with a membership plugin, like

   Paid Membership Pro
   Restrict Content Pro
   Wishlist Member
