Hi Alexander,
my wordpress site is not public yet. It is still on “privat” so only people who I invite and add can have access.

When I want to install the plugin I get an error message:
The private website is not supported..: Publish or hide your website to solve the problem.
This plugin does not have such message. May be you install another plugin?

No its the right one:
Psychological tests & quizzes
Maybe you restricted access only for “published” or “hidden” wordpress pages?
This plugin does not have such keywords as “private website”.

It could be one of your another plugins or your custom theme.

Hi Alex, I chatted with the WordPress Support and they told me the Developer can change that option, to allow Users to install and configure the plugin on an unpublished site on WordPress.com.
Would that be much work for you or is it an easy change? I would feel more comfortable not changing my “private” status of the website – since the content is not ready to be launched…
Thanks a lot!

I don’t have any other plugins installed yet and my Theme is the very basic Apostrophe 2. I can not imagine this theme interfering with that.

So this does look like a problem with the plugin.
Show me some docs ot proofs.
1. https://codex.wordpress.org/Content_Visibility
Currently the functionality to hide your entire blog from public view, or to restrict it to certain users, is not part of the core WordPress product. There are possible plans to introduce this functionality into a later version.
2. https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin
There is no about “private” here.
I dont’ think it’s a plugin’s issue.
Can you install other plugins?
REgarding your chat with worpdress support, pls show me the URLs with instaructions of how to do it and what to change.
Latest wordpress sources also does not have such text like “private website”
wordpress-5.0.3/wordpress$ grep -r 'private website'
wordpress-5.0.3/wordpress$

In the first link you send me the option that my blog currently is set on is listed:
Private: This option hides the content from the public completely.

I tried to install another plugin which also did not work. Let me check back with wordpress support!
It hides concrete post/content, not entire blog.
Once again: I can not find the text of error, that you provide to me in wordress. It means, that it does not exists in core wordpress. Also I’m sure, plugin does not contain such functionality.
My assuming is that you have some custom worpdress install, that provided by your hoster.

It’s hosted by WordPress for now….
Alright than – thanks a lot for your support!
