The following image details the visibility options available for pages and posts in WiscWeb:

Essentially, you have three options:

• Public
• Password protected
• Private

Public

This option is the default for all pages and posts in WiscWeb. It is the assumption that if you have "published" or "updated" a page or post, you would like that those changes to be publicly available.

Pages and posts published to "Public" will be available to everyone who has access to your site. 

Password protected

This option allows you to set your own password for protecting the page. More information can be found in WiscWeb - Options for protecting pages under "Native WordPress Password Protection." 

Private

Publishing to "Private" means that only those who are logged in and have editing access to your pages/posts will be able to see the content. The URLs for private pages cannot be shared as they are not publicly viewable.

Note: This option is only recommended for standard Pages and Posts.

Troubleshooting

• It is important to note that pages and posts that are published to "Password Protected" and/or "Private" will not be crawled by Google and therefore will not show data results in Google Analytics.
