Private! makes it possible to build private blogs for your friends, family or your business.
But Private! can do much more for you!
Common Features
The configuration is as simple as powerful and the best of all: It's incredible fast - you will not notice any differences from your standard installation to running a fully protected blog. It does not modify your roles, capabilities and it does not need new tables or adds queries to your normal pages.
Content Restrictions
You can use Private! to protect paid content on your page. Lock down your blog and decide who can access your front page, blog page, content pages, category archive, tag archive, search, feeds and so on. You can allow full access to your blog and restrict the access to posts in single or multiple categories and/or tags. You can allow access to certain posts even, if they are in protected categories or tags. You can give your users access to restricted areas for years or seconds. It's up to you!
Security
Improve the security of your blog by customizing your login failure messages, prevent brute force, XSS, SQL, Field Truncation, Session Hijacking and more attacks, slow down attackers, force your users to use strong passwords or just add or remove RSD/WLW/Generator Tags from your blog and/or the blogs readme.html. And this is the only plugin, that can improve the security network wide. You can force every blogs in you network to use your preferred settings by default.
Multisite Enhancements
Users can now register directly on single blogs in multisite installations. Network admins can force users to stay related to the main blog. Both options must be approved in the private.php. Remember the plugin must be installed in the main blog too or you have to activate the plugin as network plugin.
