creativelearning 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 I don't know if I should be asking this here but has anyone had any luck implementing a private community with there theme? Just curious as I must do so. I have been doing some research but have not found much in terms of plugins etc. If anyone has any thoughts or recommendations I would appreciate it!

bryan-hadaway 3 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 Private as in password entry only and only approved registrations or do you mean like hidden from search engines and public passerbyers etc.? You could simply password protect the whole site using your hosting account, you'll have to ask them how. Plugin wise, you might want to start here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/askapache-password-protect/ and search other; security, password, private plugins.

creativelearning 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks for your advice. I have researched and tried different plugins. The truth is alot of them don't play well with the Platform Pro Theme. What I had envisioned is making certain parts private. Mainly the blog page along with all it's posts. Is there a hardcoding way to do so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmunns 16 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 WordPress does have an option to make each page/post password-protected. It is in the box that prompts you to publish on the wp-admin page for each page/post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creativelearning 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks but that doesn't work. I currently have a Static front page and a page assigned as the Blog page. Tried assigning the blog page a password under publish but it does not restrict access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
