I just updated to the latest version of EasyBlog. Previously there was an option to set a blog post as "private" and only Joomla Super Users (admin) would be able to see it. Now that option has changed to "Registered Users on the Site", which in my case means thousands of users.

I'm trying to figure out how to publish a (typically) draft post so that only site admins can see them? Where is that option?
Hello,

I'm sorry but there is no option for that, only blog author could view their draft. What you could do is to set the ACL in Backend > EasyBlog > ACL > :example registered > Publish Entry to No
In this case admin could moderate the post before approving.

Thanks:)

I'm not even sure how to use the draft feature. I've always just used the privacy option. The only Publishing Status I have available are Published and Unpublished.

Hello,

You can do that by turn off the option in ACL: Publish Entry . With this option turned off, the user will not be able to publish post and only admin can moderate and publish it. Draft is used to save the blog entry as drafts to avoid any missing changes.
