How to make your wordpress site private

If you are building an intranet-style WordPress site or just want to have a private blog, the following plugins are a simple and easy solution that let you do just that.

1. Members Only.

Members Only is a WordPress plugin that allows you to make your blog only viewable to visitors that are logged in. If a visitor is not logged in, they will be redirected either to the WordPress login page or a page of your choice.

Once logged in they can be redirected back to the page that they originally requested. You can also protect your feeds whilst allowing registered user access to them by using Feed Keys.
