De-activating page
-
I thought I was just setting up an inactive Word Press page that would be published later but it seems to be public to everyone, including publishing posts. How can I de-activate the page?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
To change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
-
Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set up instructions like this one https://wordpress.com/themes/independent-publisher/ and a live demo site like this one https://independentpublisherdemo.wordpress.com/

A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

Good afternoon,
When you log into your WordPress admin panel, click on “Pages” on the left and then click the three dots on the page you want to change. Click “Edit” to be taken to that particular page. On the left side of the screen, just above the preview button is a little gear that says “Published”, click on this gear and choose “Revert to Draft”. That will un-publish the page. If it is showing on the navigation and you don’t want someone to click on it and be taken to a 404 message, you may want to remove it as well.
Cheers,
Douglas
