Here’s how to prevent Others From Posting on Your Facebook Wall.

Click to expand - Change Posting Permissions

What This Setting Does
When you set "Who can add things to my timeline?" to "Only Me":
- Friends can no longer post directly to your timeline
- You maintain full control over your wall content
- Your friend relationships remain unchanged
- People can still tag you in posts, but you can review them first
This setting only affects what appears on your timeline specifically. Posts you're tagged in may still appear in search results, news feeds, and other parts of Facebook.
Alternative Options
If you want more granular control:
Click to expand
- Use the "Timeline Review" feature to approve posts before they appear
- Adjust individual friend settings if you want to block specific people
- Change tagging settings to review tags before they're visible
By taking these steps, you can enjoy a cleaner Facebook experience with only the content you want appearing on your timeline.
