<p>wpDefaultPrivate makes all your posts private when you publish them.</p>
<p>At first the changes are only in the front-end and are not saved to the database, this way you can still use statuses like draft, pending and future.<br />
When the status of a post changes to published it is instead changed to private. After the initial “publish” you can change the post-status to public if you would like some posts to be public.</p>
<p>by default private posts and pages are not visible for all users, this plugin has settings to make private pages visible for all logged-in users</p>

<h3>Feature 1. Viewing Permissions for WordPress Content</h3>
<p>PublishPress Permissions enables you to customize viewing access for WordPress content. Open any post and you’ll see a box with the label, “Permissions: Read this Post”. This box allows you to choose “Enabled” or “Blocked” for any user role, individual user, or user group. You can also set permissions for all users who are guests, and those who are logged in.</p>

<h3>Feature 2. Editing Permissions for WordPress Content</h3>
<p>PublishPress Permissions allows you to customize the editing permissions for all your content. Open a Post, Page, Category, Tag, or custom post type and you can decide who is allowed to edit that content. You can even prevent users from editing child pages of a specific parent page. Open any content item and you’ll see a box with a label like this: “Permissions: Edit this Post”. This box allows you to choose “Enabled” or “Blocked” for any user role, individual user, or user group.</p>

<h3>Feature 3. Access Permissions for the Media Library</h3>
<p>PublishPress Permissions gives you detailed control over access to media on your WordPress site. You decide who gets to edit and view files in your Media Library. For example, you can set up WordPress so that users only have access to files that they uploaded. Or you can add an exception so users can edit other people’s media files if they are attached to a post they can edit.</p>
<p>The Pro version of Permissions allows you to deny any public access to files on your site. Nobody will be able to see your Media Library files unless they have access to a post that includes that file.</p>

<h3>Feature 4. Hide Other Users’ Posts in the WordPress Admin</h3>
<p>By default, WordPress users in the admin area can see all the Posts on the site, regardless of whether they are the author. This is not a problem for many sites. After all, most posts on most sites are publicly available – there’s no need to hide them. However, in some situations, site owners don’t want authors to see the posts that other users are working on. PublishPress Permissions can hide posts in the WordPress admin area, unless you have access to edit that post.</p>

<h3>Feature 5. Create Your Own User Groups</h3>
<p>PublishPress Permissions allows you to create your own user groups. Imagine you want to give some users access to a single Post. Instead of creating a new user role and applying all the permissions, you can easily add those users to a group. This is a simple and more flexible alternative to user roles. You can also prevent users from reading or editing content if they are not in a specific group. By default, this plugin gives you sample groups that include all Logged in and Logged out users so you can easily set public and private content.</p>

<h3>Feature 6. Show Teasers for Restricted Content (Pro Version)</h3>
<p>PublishPress Permissions Pro allows you to display a teaser for unreadable content. This is perfect for making small snippets of your content available to the public. You can have teaser text that is publicly available, followed by private content that is only visible for your site’s users. If you choose to display a login form, the redirect will go to the originally requested content.<br />

<h3>Feature 7. Automatically Create Posts for Users (Pro Version)</h3>
<p>This Pro feature allows you to automatically create content for your users. For example, you can sync your staff members to Pages. This would allow your staff to each have their own page to edit and update. You can use this feature to automatically create posts, WooCommerce products, or any other post type that is defined on your site.<br />

<h3>Feature 8. Create Your Own Publishing Statuses (Pro Version)</h3>
<p>WordPress provides some status options including “Draft”, “Pending Review” and “Published”. Permissions Pro enables you to design a far more advanced workflow. Each status you create can have its own unique capability requirements.<br />

<h3>Feature 9. Create Your Own Visibility Statuses (Pro Version)</h3>
<p>With PublishPress Permissions Pro, you can create visibility options for your content. One example is a “Premium” status that makes content visible only for paying members. Another example is a “Staff” status, for the people who run your site.</p>

<h3>Feature 10. Editorial Circles and Visibility Circles (Pro Version)</h3>
<p>Visibility Circles are a feature in PublishPress Permissions Pro that restrict users to viewing posts that were authored by other users in the same group. PublishPress Permissions also has Editorial Circles. If you are in an Editorial Circle for Pages, you will only be able to edit pages authored by other circle members.</p>
<p>The most common way to use this feature is to restrict users in the Editor role so that they can only edit posts written by other Editors. This is because Editors are the only default WordPress role that can edit content (except for Administrators).</p>
