WordPress: Make a Page Private

Tags Wordpress

There may be times when you would like to make an individual WordPress page private so that only you and other logged-in users can view the content.

  1. Open your post in WordPress to edit, or create a new post
     
  2. On the page, you will see a box labeled Publish


     
  3. In that box, next to the Visibility option, click on Edit


     
  4. Choose the appropriate option
    1. Public: everyone can see it

    2. Password protected: a user will need a special phrase in order to view the content. They will not need to log into the site as long as they have the password

    3. Private: a user must log in in order to view the page

       
       
  5. Click OK
