Is it possible to remove “View site” link/tab from the profile.php page of a new user? I don’t want new users/level 0 users to have ability to see the “View site” link/tab or they shd not be able to view the index.php page till the time they are promoted to level 1 or above. Any help will be much appreciated.

Am working towards securing my blog site. I have overcome the fist hurdle. Now in my site any visitor has to either login/register to view my site.

Hi Podz,
Find below a link to my blog site…
https://209.10.58.180/wordpress
admin
wp1234
I was able to fix the comment section. Its coming properly now. What i want to know is a way by which
a new user who registers shd only get only two tabs when they login first. They shd not be able to see the
“view site” tab at all. And a way by which i can restrict user from reaching index.php.
like if you do
https://209.10.58.180/wordpress/index.php
you will be able to skip the login page. Anyway to restrict that on Apache or some other way..
Thanks,
Saj.

Ok. I am planning to put my site on the internet in couple of hours. Will send you the details soon.
Thanks.

Thanks. I tried it but am still looking for something better. I have made some
progress on that part. I was able to put a login page before the actual index.php
and then upon sucessful login i was able to show the normal Index.php. Now am
stuck at a point where am able to see the recent posting/blog but i don’t see the
reply/comment window below. Even when i click on some posts i don’t get that.
The whole page is just the list of posts.
Help!!

Need little bit more detail. Am kinda lost.. which file to edit…and what changes to make. Please explain a bit more in detail. Sorry for the trouble.

How can i do that? So if i password protect the posts will that be visible to the normal (index.php) visitors?

Thanks for the info. I will try to use this. I agree, that WP is designed to show posts. Am also tyring to do the same but i want only relevant people to see the posts. I think i will work on it and if something postive come up..will share the same on this forum.
Thanks.

I think am expecting some answer from a positive thinker. If this is the best answer which i can get then i think i will better back off from this forum. What is wrong in my question? Add another level of authentication!!! Am not a programmer but whatever little knowledge i have i think all my requirement can be achieved by either modifying couple of files (.PHP) or by adding another file (.PHP).
Thanks

Yes, I dont want any visitor to see the index.php. Bcoz that itself will revel the discussion which the forum conducts. So, to address that am looking at an option where any user will be shown something like the index.php (under wp-admin directory) and then authenticate them there and then allow them to see the index.php under wordpress root directory.
And anyone who registers also shd only be able to see just two tabs (Profile and Logout) and after the admin acts on the id credential is when they shd be able to chk out other tabs and the main blog page.
I know this might require some programming effiort. But i belive that once this kind of feature is also enabled then WordPress can be used my many organisations who cares for their privacy. Like my company, Where we are very clear that the discussion session happening between the employees of our company shd not be made available for any anonymous visitor.
I think this will be a very big PLUS for WORDPRESS and will help a lot to attract more companies and users who are in need of some blogger but a one which can be configured as private and public.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Thanks. I got it working. I have one more question on site security.
Is there a way that i can put a login before i take my registered users to the current “Index.php” page.
Now what happens is if i type https://blog.mysite.com the first page is index.html which shows up the current
posts and a screen to leave a comment for that post.
I feel that is too risky thing if am going to do this for a company. So, Is there a way i can authenticate people before i take them to that screen?
Saj.

Sorry the machine on which am trying is not open on the internet. Its laptop on which i have installed this and am testing it.
I can post comments as User1 but when i login as User2 i can see the post but i don’t see any way to reply to that post. when i click on edit and see the post page and then click on comments that time am able to post a reply to a post but when i go back to the edit page again i still see the ‘comments’ field showing “no comments”.
Help!!

Hi ,
I need another help. I want my site to show the login page directly instead of the “MY WEBLOG” Page.
Please help.
