Network Privacy

In one of the chapters in the WordPress All In One Desk Reference, Andrea includes a list of recommended plugins for use in a WordPress Network. One of those is no longer available for download. Because it was such a handy plugin, I updated the plugin for WordPress 3.0 so that it works with both single and network installs. It can be installed in either the mu-plugins or plugins folder. Here are the features:

In a single site WordPress install adds the following privacy options:

  • I would like my site to be visible only to Site subscribers.
  • I would like my site to be visible only to Site administrators.

In a WordPress network activated on an individual site adds the following privacy options:

  • I would like my site to be visible only to Registered network users.
  • I would like my site to be visible only to Site subscribers.
  • I would like my site to be visible only to Site administrators.

When Network Activated or in the mu-plugins folder in a WordPress network adds the following:

  • A privacy selector in the Super Admin -> Options page to allow individual site privacy or the 3 above across the network.
  • If the network setting is individual privacy the Super Admin -> Edit Site screen has a privacy selector.

Thanks to D Sader for the original version. Download Network Privacy.

    And on a single install with no network of sites, it adds all the options except for the “I would like my site to be visible only to Registered network users.” one.

    :)

    Thanks, Ron.

    I see that dsader has also released a new version of his plugin for download:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-privacy-options/

    How do the two plugins differ?

    • Ron says:

      I’d have to look at his to see. How it’s different from the prior version of his is that it works in a single WP, has the 3 options for super admins in a network & works in either mu-plugins or plugins folder.

  6. Joss Winn says:

    Having installed your plugin, I found that people were seeing a message about waiting five seconds and being redirected to login, despite the blog privacy settings being set to ‘Googleable’.

    Hi Ron and Andrea,

    Thanks for upgrading the plugin. I noticed it does not seem to work with the Domain Mapping plugin.
