• I have created a site where I want to blog about my new born daughter. Since there is a lot of sick people out there I only want relatives and frinds with login and password to see the site.
    Is there a plug-in for this? The unredisterd and not loged in users should not see anything on the site.

  • Try ViewLevel2. It’ll do what you want, and I’ve tried it on WP2.2.1 and it seems to work quite well.

    I took a look at it but from what I understand you have to put code in certain entrys. I am looking for something that blocks the whole site for non registerd people

    So its too much effort to type “vl=0” at the start of each post? Or add a custom field called “viewlevel” with a value of 0?

    Wow, you must have a REALLY busy life…

    Obviously too busy to read the bit about the default setting:

    If you don’t set the viewlevel, then the post is assigned a default. You can set this default on the new ViewLevel Options page. To start with the default is ‘*’, so everyone will be able to see your posts.

    What this means, is that you can change the default FOR EVERY POST. Set it to 0 and only registered users can see them.

    How’s that? Still too much effort?

    Sorry if I sound irritated, but honestly, I am. All it took was an extra 2 minutes of reading, downloading, playing to find out it does EXACTLY what you asked for!

    Wow,
    No the problem is not that I am to buissy, the problem is that I dont want anything on the site to be visable, my biggest concern is the photogallery with pictures of my infant daughter and the authoritys are right now as I write this sending out warnings about posting pictures on the web of kids since there are plenty of very sick people out there that get of watching bahing pictures etc of small children.

    Now do you understand me a little bit better?
    You obvously didn’t read my first post to well when I wrote that I dontt want people to vew my site not only the blog entries.

    Here’s another plugin:

    https://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/angsumans-authenticated-wordpress-plugin-password-protection-for-your-wordpress-blog/

    It redirects anyone who isn’t logged in to the login form, so they can’t see the entire site unless they are registered users.

    First go to options Privacy and set it so no search engines suss it out. That will stop most traffic.

    Then when you write make every post password protected which is as simple as adding a password in the side column under Post Password, the password can be the same for every post.

    That should deal with any issues you are worried about.

    Still and all the internet is what it is and if someone really really really wanted to track you down and find your pics they could.

    Actually I read every word of your original post and, based on it:

    I have created a site where I want to blog about my new born daughter. Since there is a lot of sick people out there I only want relatives and frinds with login and password to see the site.

    My response was exactly right, as you say NOTHING about a gallery, or anything other than “…I want to blog…”.

    Tell us exactly what you want, what your set up is, gallery software, how its working together with the blog, and maybe we can actually give an informed answer!

    If you’d asked the right question in the first place, or clarified that you wanted your gallery, etc. blocked, when I first replied, then this would be a much simpler thread.

    The more you tell us about what you’ve got and what you’re trying to do with it, the more useful replies can be.

    The plugin will do an easier job than 4k’s suggestion as you don’t need to type anything for every post you want to hide (which is ALL you objected to in my first reply), but as we don’t know your gallery package we have no way of knowing if this will have any effect on it.

    As an addendum to that, viewlevel will deal with posts AND pages, so you get a 404 error for everything you look at.

    If you’re using something like Gallery2, then there are capabilities in that to restrict access too.

    Tell us what you want!

    Or how about password protection for your blog which even hides the site from search engines.
