   Is it possible to show 1 link/button to all guests,
   then after they login, that link/button becomes hidden,
   then they see the member-only link/button??

   This is a Hidepost's feature, you may want to take a look at it.

   I already know 1/2 of it: How to hide a link from Guests, and show to Users after they login (pretty obvious).

   I'm trying to do the reverse as well: Use hidepost to SHOW to a Guest, & then hide to a logged in user?

   For example, show a "Buy" link to guests, but show a "Download" link to logged in Users.

   Use the option page, there's a option to change the text that shown to guest, change it to your "buy" link

   Thanks, that put me in the right direction. But trial and error has led me to this: I don't think it's possible for what I'm trying to do, b/c each of my blog posts has a different item and buy link. The hidepost feature sets all of the buy links to the SAME link.

   Well, I may have figured it out... I set the Protect link to my "Buy" image, and it's still letting me click on the hidden link beneath it.

   ...maybe not. Forget the last post.

   So you want a different link for each post, right ?
   It's possible, but it requires some works around

   Yep, I wanted different links for each post. I decided to go with a different setup for the site, so this is no longer an issue for me.

    I actually ended up using a different method for this. The dirty way. Didn't use HidePost at all. Here's an example:

    <?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); if ( $current_user->user_level < 1 )
    { echo ' /*Code guests see*/ '; }
    else { echo ' /*Code members see*/ '; } ?>
