    Is it possible to make an entire CPT (all posts and archive) "Private"?

    I only want these posts/archive visible on the frontend by the admin/editors, and for all others, I want it to show a 404, just like a standard private post does.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    You can use a custom code to set the post status to private when creating/updating a post. For example

    function force_type_private( $post ) {
    if ($post['post_type'] == 'my_post_type')
    $post['post_status'] = 'private';
    return $post;
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'force_type_private' );
