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 , and Private.
So what’s with that “private” option? If you’re publishing a blog post, don’t you want the whole world to see it? Well, not all the time, seeing as how WordPress private posts are wonderful for internal corporate communications , restricted content, and documentation that regular customers might not need to see.
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.
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.
The process is simple for creating private posts. So, we’ll walk through a tutorial on making a post private, right after explaining some of the instances where WordPress private posts can come in handy.
Here are some situations where private posts can be helpful:
By default, anyone with a user role of Editor or Administrator can see all the private posts on your site. They also have control over changing the privacy settings. Keep this in mind when working in an environment with multiple editors or admins. There might be someone who shouldn’t be reading the private post, or they may accidentally (or purposefully) make the post public without you knowing.
Furthermore, private posts aren’t ironclad safes. I don’t recommend publishing any sensitive information using WordPress private posts. For instance, lawyers and real estate agents shouldn’t publish contracts. Similarly, eCommerce companies should avoid publishing any customer information.
Overall, private posts generate hidden parts of your website – not completely protected parts. It’s more of an advantage when you’d like to not bother users, while still maintaining a fluid work environment.
All images are technically available to the public, even when you publish them as part of private posts. Anyone can obtain these images if they have the image URL. Although it’s not probable, it’s certainly possible. Finally, all Authors on your site can view the images in the media library.
Certain user roles can view and edit private posts. These roles include:
I’m sure most people know how to add or edit a post, but I wanted to let you know that it’s possible to make a private post from a new one or one that’s already published and public.
Go to the Publish module on your post.
You can test WordPress private posts by logging in as an Admin or Editor. If you see the “Private:” text before the title, only the Admin and Editors can see it.
Your site will direct other users to a 404 page.
By default, only Admins and Editors can view private posts. However, if you’d like to show your content to specific user groups (like family members or colleagues,) the WP JV Post Reading plugin helps you out with that.
If you’re a little bit more advanced in your WordPress knowledge, you can also use WordPress user roles and the User Role Editor plugin to give additional user roles access to the read_private_posts and read_private_pages capabilities . This will allow those user roles to view private posts and pages, as well.
