Privacy Settings - WordPress

New sites created at blogs.evergreen.edu default to private access. You can control the privacy level of your site by going to Settings > Reading.

Change your privacy settings

When you first create a site it defaults to be viewable by logged-in users of blogs.evergreen.edu only. To make your site publicly viewable:

1. From your Dashboard navigate to Settings > Readings
2. Choose the Site Visibility setting that you want.
   • Publicly viewable options include "Allow Search engines" or "Discourage search engines"
   • The remainder are increasing levels of privacy
3. Click Save Changes

Reading Settings are where you change your privacy settings
