Setting your posts or entire blog to be private in WordPress

If you'd like to make a particular post private so that only you or a bunch of people you choose can see it All you need to do is head to the post editor if you aren't there already, and click here on Edit, next... to Visibility in the publish pane You can choose to make the post either password protected (in which case you'll need to supply a password) or Private, which means that only you... or other logged in contributors to the blog will be... able to see it. Click "OK" and... that will be effective immediately. If you'd like to make your whole blog private head to Settings > Privacy and check the radio button for "I would like... my blog to be visible only to users I choose" Save changes, and then... you can start adding user names, up to 35 that you'd like to give access to your blog For more than 35 users you can purchase and upgrade that will allow you to add as many as you like So, whether you want to add just one or two posts as private, or... your whole blog to be invite only, it's totally up to you
