    I’d like to make the entire blog as private. I saw the following but I don’t see the Privacy Settings under setting menu

    ==========

    Configuration

    Settings » Privacy Settings

    Contents
    Site Visibility Options
    Viewing a Private Blog

    Related
    Discussion Settings
    Email Post Changes
    General Settings
    Media Settings
    OpenID
    Reading Settings
    Writing Settings

    The Privacy Settings control who can and cannot view your blog. You can change your Privacy Settings via your Settings -> Reading page:

    Site Visibility Options

    Here, you will see three Site Visibility options:

    1.Allow search engines to index this site. – This is the setting used by most blogs. It allows everyone to read your blog and enables your blog to be included in search engine results and other content sites.
    2.Ask search engines not to index this site. – If you want all human visitors to be able to read your blog, but want to block web crawlers for search engines, this is the setting for you.
    3.I would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose – Select this option to create a private blog. If you want others to be able to view your private blog (and add comments, if you’ve enabled them) you’ll need to invite them to be a viewer.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Choose 3.

    3.I would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose – Select this option to create a private blog. If you want others to be able to view your private blog (and add comments, if you’ve enabled them) you’ll need to invite them to be a viewer.

    Don’t be confused after you choose option 3. and go crazy marking all the posts and pages as password protected. If you choose 3 the whole blog will be private and you will control who can view it.

    Your account is only 30 minutes old

    You will not see the privacy options if either of the following is accurate:

    1) You are at a WordPress.COM blog and not logged in as an Admin

    or

    2) You are an Admin on a WordPress.ORG installed blog

    We need the Real URL of the actual blog you are asking about to be sure
