Is it possible to only allow a user to be able to see the blog after they have logged in (to the blog, or the server). The blog I have set up is intended to handle safety information reporting for H & S purposes within our small company and I would like it to be accessible remotely but only after log in for specified users within the company.

That's really a Wordpress question and not specific to the WHS Add-In. A google search turned up this:

You could also create or modify the web.config file to require authentication from a user on the WHS, or possibly through .htaccess files though I've not personally set those up with IIS.

Have you tried our Add-Ins?

Thanks very much for the prompt reply. I had a scour of the Wordpress places but you seem to uncovered exactly what is needed. I just have to work out where all these files are in the WHS Wordpress installation!

Let us know how you get on with this, we can try to help if you get stuck.

I seem to have an error generated by the file copied from the post you pointed me to. When I activate the plug-in (found all the files and edited as suggested, I think) I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\blog\wp-content\plugins\ac_authenticator.php on line 25

The line in question is this line as copied from the post:

if(‘wp-login.php’ != $pagenow && ‘wp-register.php’ != $pagenow) add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘ac_auth_redirect’);

And this is the version in my ac_authenticator.php:

if('wp-login.php' != $pagenow && 'wp-register.php' != $pagenow) add_action('template_redirect', 'ac_auth_redirect');

I just changed the type of quotes. Any thoughts?
As I am using the most up to date version of Wordpress, I am wondering if there is a further incompatibility. Thanks again for the reply.

Strange how things work! I went back to the wordpress plug-in directory and looked up 'authenticator' to see if there was a new version of this. There wasn't - BUT I found a plug-in called 'Members Only' which does exactly what was wanted.

If you do install and activate this then you need to go to the admin dashboard and look for the 'members only' tab. On that tab there is a tick box to 'switch it on'.

Works like a charm.

Thanks again for your support and encouragement ...

Sweet glad you got it sorted!
