<p><strong>My Private Site</strong> is the easiest way to make your entire WordPress site private. With one setting, you can restrict all pages and posts so they are visible only to logged-in users. Visitors who are not signed in are automatically redirected to the WordPress login screen.</p>
<p>Unlike full membership plugins, My Private Site does not require the overhead of subscriptions, payments, or profile management. Instead, it focuses on strong, lightweight privacy, perfect for projects where you just need to keep your site limited to a trusted audience.</p>
<h3>Ideal Use Cases</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Family sites and school projects</strong>: Share personal updates, photos, or assignments only with family members, classmates, or teachers you choose.</li>
<li><strong>Development and staging sites</strong>: Safely show work-in-progress to clients or teammates without exposing unfinished content or letting it be indexed by search engines.</li>
<li><strong>Clubs, groups, and internal blogs</strong>: Create a private online space for members or staff without the overhead of a complex membership system.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>One-click option to make your entire WordPress site private.</li>
<li>Optional setting to keep the homepage public while locking down the rest of the site.</li>
<li>Automatic login prompts whenever non-logged-in users try to access content.</li>
<li>Flexible landing page control—send users back to the page they requested, to your homepage, dashboard, or a custom URL after login.</li>
<li>Hide the WordPress admin bar on the front end for a cleaner look.</li>
<li>REST API Guardian: block REST API access for logged-out users.</li>
<li>Works with custom login pages, Multisite, BuddyPress, and Theme My Login.</li>
<li>Privacy shortcode lets you selectively show or hide content within a page or post.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Built-in AI Defense</h3>
<p>The internet is rapidly changing, with AI crawlers and bots harvesting content without consent. My Private Site helps you defend your work with integrated <strong>AI Defense</strong> features:<br />
* <strong>NoAI and NoImageAI tags</strong>: Automatically add meta tags and headers that signal compliant AI systems not to use your text or images for training.<br />
* <strong>Block GPTBot</strong>: Add a robots.txt rule to prevent OpenAI’s crawler from accessing your site.<br />
* <strong>Really Simple Licensing (RSL)</strong>: Publish a machine-readable license that explicitly prohibits AI training on your content.</p>
<p>These protections are included free in the core plugin, easy to enable with a checkbox, and designed to safeguard your site without affecting normal visitors or search engines. You can use them even if you’re not using any other site privacy features.</p>
<h3>Privacy Made Simple for Teams, Projects, and Families</h3>
<p>In short, My Private Site turns your WordPress installation into a secure, invite-only space with just a few clicks. Whether you’re running a private blog, staging a project, or safeguarding your family site, it provides peace of mind, modern AI defenses, and effortless setup—all while staying lightweight and easy to manage.</p>
