    • Mark blog as private. What does that mean?

    Posted by chsakda posts: 56
    Hi. What does it mean by 'mark blog as private'? I am not sure. Does it mean that only the author can view/edit it and not anybody else? Thank you.

    I'm not sure, without checking. When I have a question like that, sometimes I like to do a test. Why don't you make a test private blog, then log out and log in as an ordinary user and see if you can see/edit or whatever the blog?

    Yep. I tested. That's why I posted my question. Because I marked it as private and my assumption is that it should not let anybody sees it but me. But I was wrong. Anybody still can access it..... Any plan to fix this? Thank you.

    OK, sorry, I didn't know you tested it already. It's still not working in 1.9.3 CVS. I submitted a bug report in case the devs aren't aware of it.

    This feature is supposed to allow you to write a blog but submit it as invisible. Meaning the blog is physically there but no one can see it except yourself.

    I think it is a neat feature as you may want to note down things that you might not want to release it publicly - you are still considering to amend, modify, whatever until you are ready to release it "officially".

    Having said that, unfortunately, this feature DOES NOT work now in 1.9.1 (I have asked that question before). I think Damian or somebody is working on that - might be in the near future (I hope)....😉
