Wondering what the deal is with WordPress private posts? When creating a WordPress page or post, you may have looked over that little “Visibility” area in the Publish module. Underneath it, you see three radio buttons: Public, Password Protected<\/a>, and Private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So what’s with that “private” option? If you’re publishing a blog post, don’t you want the whole world to see it?

Private WordPress posts lock all unauthorized users out of that content. Only certain logged-in users can navigate to the post and view what’s on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An advantage of a private WordPress post is the power you have when granting user access. For instance, you don’t need to let all users see the post. If you have a blog post with SEO guidelines for your writers, you might restrict entry for those who aren’t listed as Authors.<\/p>\n\n\n
