Usage
Show Privacy options at sign up
Show Privacy option at sign up is displayed when either ‘Logged in users may register new sites’ or ‘Both sites and user accounts can be registered’ is selected under Registration Settings in Settings > Network Settings in the network admin dashboard. When ‘Yes’ is selected users are able to set their preferred privacy options as their site is created. Here’s what the privacy options look like on the sign up page when ‘Yes’ is selected:
Available Options
Available options allows the Super admin user to control which of the privacy options are displayed in Settings > Reading in the site admin dashboard. Here’s what the privacy options look like when all are selected in network settings:
Default Settings
Default settings control the Privacy setting of all newly created sites. For example, if you wanted to make all newly created sites private you would choose either:
- Only allow logged in users to see all blogs – any one who is a registered user on your network, and who is logged into their account will be able to view the site. Ideal if you want to make sites private without adding users to individual sites.
- Only allow a registered user to see a blog for which they are registered to – any one who is a registered user of the site and who is logged into their account will be able to view the site .i.e anyone who has been added as a user to site and is listed in Users > All Users. Used when you want to limit access to specific people.
- Only allow administrators of a blog to view the blog for which they are an admin – any one who is a registered admin user of the site and who is logged into their account will be able to view the site. Ideal for testing purpose before making a site public.
Allow Override
Allow Override lets you decide if blog admin users are able to change privacy options in Settings > Reading. For example, you would select ‘No’ if you needed to keep all sites private.
Update All Sites
Update all Sites is designed to update the privacy settings on all sites across your network. For example, you would use Update all Sites if your default setting was ‘Allow all visitors to all blogs’ and you needed to make all sites private quickly.
Please Note:
- Select ‘Update All Sites’ to update existing blogs and apply to all new ones being created.
- Don’t select ‘Update All Blogs’ if you only want new privacy defaults to apply to all new sites being created.
- Update All Sites does not update the Privacy Settings of the main site. This is because it is common to make the main site ‘Allow all visitors to all blogs’ so you can provide community support and help on the main site. To change the Privacy setting of the main site you need to go to Settings > Reading in the site admin dashboard of the main site.
Changing Privacy Settings on a site by site basis
You can change the privacy of a site by: 1. Logging into the site admin dashboard of the site 2. Go to Settings > Reading 3. Select your new privacy setting. 4. Click Save Changes.
