Eyes Only allows you to publish your private blog in public without limits. Let the words flow freely without worrying about who else will read it. Your private thoughts are for you alone (and anyone else you deem worthy), but why keep all of your thoughts to yourself?
Private Blog…in Public?
Exactly. Perhaps you have some thoughts you’d like to share but they are mixed in with private or personal content. Eyes Only lets you have the best of both worlds by letting you publish your posts publicly while also giving you precise control over what readers can see. If you have some text in a post that you would rather not be read by others (e.g. your mother’s maiden name or your home address), just selected it in the post editor and click the redact button to mask the text when normal readers visit the site.
Better still, all authorized (logged-in) users can see the post’s content in it’s full, unmasked glory. It’s like magic x-ray glasses that only you get to wear!
How to Use
- Install and Activate plugin (link below)
- When writing your post, select the text you want to mask and click the Redactbutton on the toolbar
Redact Buttons (Visual and HTML Editors)
- That’s it! When the redacted text is viewed by normal visitors, it will be masked (i.e. unreadable).
Redacted Post
Let’s Get Automatic
Automatic Redactions
Eyes Only can also automatically redact text in all posts by using the creatively-named Automatic Redactions feature. When a normal visitor views a post, the words/phrases you specify are automatically replaced with any word/phrase you desire. The post’s original content is hidden in plain view! Again, all authorized users will be able to see the original post.
How to Use
- Go to Settings > Eyes Only in the administration menu
- Add a new word or phrase by clicking the “Add New” button next to the Automatic Redactions header
- Add the word/phrase you want to hide along with the text you want to replace it with
- Click the “Add” button and the word/phrase will be hidden to normal visitors in any post on your site.

September 24, 2010 – 11:47 amThe plugin can be removed like any other plugin. Just deactivate the plugin on the Plugins admin page and then click delete under the plugin’s name.

September 24, 2010 – 12:49 pmIt was not in plugin list. It came up only after a logout/login.
This plugin is nice, but wasn’t exactly what I was looking for at this moment. But I’ll keep in my Favorites links.
Thanks.

September 25, 2010 – 4:52 amI went back in my opinion. It will fit for a new purpose better than I could imagine using Automatic Redactions.
Congratulations!

October 4, 2010 – 6:00 amHello,
I found that Eyes Only, while it does what I need also causes me in the admin side not to be able to selected or input tags for my posts.
I have WordPress 3.0.1 installed, and I an provide a plugin list as well.

October 4, 2010 – 6:16 amI believe it also conflicts with Viper’s Video Quicktags.

October 12, 2010 – 12:29 pmThanks for the info. Could you provide a bit more information regarding the issue. I can’t seem to replicate the post tagging issue or find any conflicts with Viper’s Video Quicktags on the sites that I have Eyes Only installed on.
Do the issues go away if you deactivate Eyes Only? Also, are you using the
redactshortcode or Automatic Redactions?Thanks.

If the content is hidden then who can view and how they can view the content? It is not clear to me.
Are the users who are logged in can see it only?
Sol
May 26, 2011 – 5:20 pm@RAJ: Yes, logged in users can see the full text. For more information, have a look at the description at the top of this page:

April 15, 2012 – 9:42 pmGreat plug-in but after activating Eyes Only,”Inset Media” button no longer works in visual editor. Deactivation restored function.

April 17, 2012 – 10:46 am@Peter: You found a bug! The plugin has been updated and the fix will be henceforth known as the Peter the Quick(tag) fix for your contribution.
