[resolved] How to make my blog private .... (3 posts)

    Guys I'd really appreciate some help as I'm clearly missing something. I want to make the content of my site available to members I give a username and password to. Obviously I don't want them to have access to the admin area. I've downloaded the Members-Only plugin but when I come to configure it the Login Redirect box gives the choice between the Dashboard or the Frontpage. If I set it to Dashboard I'm assuming that anyone will be able to access the admin area of my blog and if I set it to Frontpage I will be sent to the Frontpage and won't be able to access the admin area.

    I may be making this much more complicated than it actually is but I can't see how I can have access to the admin area to make ongoing changes and give the users access to only the content. It seems to be either one or the other.

    If there are any other plugins that will do the job please let me know.
