Privacy options not complete !!

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    In the privacy option, I only have 2 options :

    – I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers

    – I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors

    and I would like to have the third option, which is :

    – would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose

    how can I get it back?!!!

    I want to give permition to few people so they can see it !

    please help me, I tried every thing and nothing seems to work !

    Thanks!

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

    Hi lorawow,

    I have 2 bloges acctully, and the problem am talking about appears in one of them, it’s when I
    go to my dashbord,options,privacy, I only found 2 options which they:

    – I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers

    – I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors

    but in the other blog, I get 3 options, the 2 above and this :

    – would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose.

    so if you can help me by getting this third option back, because I really
    want to protect my blog, I just want it for my family and my friends, not for puplic !

    It sounds to you’ll need to Contact staff directly because they have access to the back end components http://support.wordpress.com/contact/

    Hm. We cannot see the image you are linking because your blog nedathabit.wordpress.com is protected:
    “This file requires authorization:
    you must both be a user of this blog as well as be currently logged into wordpress.com”

    Can you upload it to http://imageshack.us or so?

    So that screenshot is taken on the blog where you only have “two” options right?
    Now when you’ve got the third selection selected then you have to click save changed and then you can start adding usernames.

    If it’s a screenshot of the blog where you have the three options please take a screenshot of the blog where you only have two options.

    well,

    the first screenshot is taken from the ” 3 options blog ” and I can deal with
    it, and I already added some usernames, but the problem is with this
    one – and it’s translated to Arabic –

    but it’s exactly the same thing, it just got 2 options and I cant make it
    visible to users I choose ..!

    So can I do any thing about it..?

    Thanx Lora..

    Neda,

    The one with only two options is a self-hosted blog and they do not have the 3rd option. What you’re seeing is normal.

  • Unknown's avatar

    BTW, self-hosted blogs are supported at wordpress.org/support.

  • Unknown's avatar

    that will do it ..

    thanx ella..

    You’re welcome. Many of the functions built in to the wordpress.com software require plugins or tinkering with the software from wordpress.org.

    So much work, such a simple answer. Lmao.

    Asking for a link to the blog always cuts down on the work.
