I am using Moodle 2.3 and want to make blog posts viewable to the whole world or public i.e without having to login or go to a particular course. I think in previous versions of moodle you had the option to make blog posts viewable to yourself, to site users or whole world. I don’t seem to have the ‘whole world’ option when I create a blog post. Has this been removed in 2.3 or does it need to be enabled somewhere else?
Also is it possible to display a list of recent blog posts either as a block on the left/right or inside the home page?
Thanks
Yep. You have to change the blog visibility option in site admin to “The world can see entries set to be world-accessible”. By default it’s set to “All site users can see all blog entries”
The setting is at
