Privacy Settings for WordPress 2.8.4
ByI wanted to give everyone who is setting up new WordPress sites using WordPress 2.8.4 a heads up! I have uploaded two WordPress Sites using Fantastico for clients in the last week and noticed that the default privacy setting is now set to hide your site from search engines. I almost didn’t catch it, but I was showing someone how to use WordPress and she asked me if the setting needed to be changed!
New WordPress Privacy Settings Default
YOU BET I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE SWITCH. I thought maybe I must have clicked the wrong button, but NO! I just set up another site tonight and the same thing happened! I’m not sure at which update the change happened but you can be sure I’m going back to check all my WordPress sites!
Goes to show you sometimes WordPress takes a step back when updating! Leave me a comment to let me know if you are seeing the same thing, or if my upload settings were just aberrations!

I was equally shocked! If was ony after putting a new blog up and noticing that it was getting indexed that I picked up on this.
