  My blog is already by invitation only and requires each contributor / user to sign in. However, there is one category of posts which I want to have an extra layer of security on – meaning that any other user cannot access those posts, only specific users.

  Is this possible? Or is it better to have a completely separate blog to contain those sensitive posts?

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

  You may protect selected individual posts with a password, but you can’t, as far as I know, password protect posts by category.

  Thank you for your swift response @musicdoc1.

  I have added a password to the posts in question.

  Is this the place to request enhancements that can be passed to Development? As posts can be grouped by category it would be nice to have a password protection on a category as a whole so that each post does not require an individual setting.

  The ideas forum may be a better place for enhancement suggestions.
