    Hi –

    What is the most straightforward way of making an entire WP site visible only to registered users? I want to create a site for a youth soccer team. I don’t want the contact information visible to the entire world.

    Thanks.

    In your dashboard there is an option under “publish” to switch the site to being only accessible with a password.

    There is? Where, exactly? There’s no “publish” text on my dashboard.

    Thanks…

    It’s in the editor – not the dashboard.
    When you are writing, you will see 2 boxes on the right menu. One gives options for publishing (select PRIVATE), another asks for a post password. Just enter something and pass that on to your members. It will not make your SITE private, granted, but nobody will be able to see any passworded posts.

    I don’t know of any way to make your entire site invisible to anyone but members, other than selecting the dashboard option to not list your site to various bots like google, and hoping people don’t stumble upon your site:) That is not to say there is no way to do this – just that I don’t know of a way.
