 * Does anyone know if there is a plugin that locks all posts after x long time.
 * f.e. posts posted 2 months ago go from being viewable by all to only being viewable
   for logged in users ?

 * Look for plugins that turn off comments for old posts. I know they exist, but
   don’t know the names of any off the top of my head.

 * Scotts Autoclose comments does that, but it doesn’t tackle the viewable req.

 * Do you mean this?

 * When I install that plugin, it breaks comments. (Trying to comment generates 
   an error.)
 * Is there a working plugin with current versions of WordPress?

 * Oh.
 * Are you supposed to activate the plugin, test it a little, and then deactivate
   it? That seems to have closed comments older than 90 days. That’s what I configured
   it for. Comments now work right.

 * Just to be clear to future readers:
 * kitty is looking for a way to lock POSTS, not COMMENTS.
 * I can tell you how to hack your template to set a post to ‘private’ when someone
   visits a page, but that 1. will only reset the post for the next visitor, and
   2. will make it look like the post no longer exists. Not sure that’s what you
   want.

 * Thanks Kafkaesqui 😉
 * I have users on my blog that can see locked posts (using ViewLevel v.1.1.2 ) 
   by logging themselves in. I would like to be able to have the option to auto 
   lock posts after x long time (like I explained before) so they would automaticly
   be set to user level = 1 instead of user level 0 after x long time.
 * I know I suck at explaining stuff 😉
