I’m following the [Restricting access coockbook](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/security/access-restriction) but I would like the page to be a virtual one. I converted the `.txt` files (It’s multi-language site) to a virtual page following the example of [simple virtual page guide for multilingual site](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/virtual-pages/simple-virtual-page) and deleted the page from the content folder

The page shows up but when I login it sends me to the error page. I did not modified any other files.

It works if I comment out the routes and use the txt files on the content folder. Here are the txt files and the virtual page:

login.es.txt

```
Title: Iniciar sesión

----

Alert: Correo o contraseña inválidos.

----

Email: Correo electrónico

----

Password: Contraseña

----

Button: Iniciar sesión

```

login.en.txt

```
Title: Login

----

Alert: Invalid user or password

----

Email: Email

----

Password: Password

----

Button: Log in

```

my config.php

```

What’s the point of doing it like this?

So the page won’t show up on the list of pages and test what can be done with kirby 😛 If it’s not possible it’s ok!

But the reason why this is happening is not that it doesn’t work, but that your route only listens to a `GET` request. Add

```auto
'method' => 'GET|POST',

```

to your route and you should be good to go.
