   I'm wondering if there is a way to hide the blog and individual posts from all non-logged in users but allow public access to all pages.

   Basically index.php and single.php need to be always private, but everything else public.

   Any ideas?

   Thanks!

   Would marking all blog entries "private" do the trick?

   That could totally work. My worry is that I'm going to use this idea with a lot of contributors and I really need a way to have the posts be private without counting on them to mark new ones.

   Ok, then it's about roles and capabilities?

   Right, basically I want all logged in users to be able to access the blog and individual posts but not the general public. I want non logged in people to just see the pages, and only when you log in can you access the blog.

   You can write a custom function to tell wordpress to only display the blog pages if the user is logged in.

   Something like this:

   <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ... } ?>

   It's gonna be a tough one.. but it's doable.

   Did you check the repository to see if there is already a plugin which does this?

   Try it with a plugin:
