  I want to make 175 blog posts private. Basically this was my blog years ago and I published a lot of posts and then I hid the site for a couple of years. I want to write new posts again but only want to hand pick a few posts from the past to make available. Is there an option to change every post to private all at once and then go in and choose the few I want visible?

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

  Hi there, Private means only you and any other Admin or Editor on your site will be able to see those posts. Just noting.

  To bulk edit posts and change them to Private, you’ll need to work in the WP Admin Posts Screen at https://adoptionintherealworld.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php and you’ll see a check box next to each post. Tick the box next to several post at once and then see the “Bulk Actions” at the top of the column. Change that to “Edit” in the dropdown menu there and then click “Apply” Here’s more on using Bulk Edit: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit

  Let us know how that goes.
