Individual Post or Page Privacy Settings

If you find that only a few content items within your site need to be private, access for visitors can be set up separately for individual pages or posts.

UX Tip

When the site is set to private individual posts will not appear as public, regardless of your individual post setting.

  1. Login to u.osu.edu and navigate to the dashboard of the site that you would like to edit.
  2. Click Pages or Posts from the left-side Main Menu.
