User Access Control

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello all,
    I’m working on a blog for a department at my college. They want to have some section of the blog cordoned off, only accessible to a certain group of people. My first thought was to make a page set as private, and then set a “contributor” user that could view them. As it turns out, though, the “contributor” cannot see private posts. My next thought was a password-protected page, but then the user would have to type in a password on every single page, which would get sort of annoying. My last resort will be to set the entire blog to private, and maybe set up a second blog for the public content, but this seems like a real pain. Does anyone have any ideas or tips about advanced access control with WordPress? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It cannot be done with a blog hosted here at wordpress.COM. There are “membership” plugins for use with self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG, but of course plugins are not allowed here.

    Your choice here would be two blogs.

    That’s sort of what I figured. Thanks.
