   Hi everyone!
   I am not sure if there is a solution for this one or not - I have a static members only site that I have just migrated to WP3.1. It is a members only site for a private community - each member (400+ members) already has their own username and password.

   What I want to do in WP 3.1 is to have the index page be the first screen available to the free world :) - and then when member select Members Only - the login pops up and they enter their existing user names and passwords.

   Is this something I will need to set up via .htaccess or in the database? From what I can tell with WordPress at the page level it only allows you one username and password which is not sufficient for this organization.

   Is there a plugin that is available that will accomplish what I want to do ?

   I hope I have supplied enough information so that someone might know what I am talking about...

   Thoughts?

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/ may work.

   There are a lot of similar plugins.

   You could have a look at some of the membership plugins.

   Thanks for the advice however, I am still unable to locate something that does not require
   1) a member to register (I already have user names and passwords for all 400+ members)
   2) a member to pay for content (the content is free - it is just restricted to members because it is a private community)

   I cannot believe it is this troublesome to locate what I need for implementing into this site :(

   Members need to come to the home page of the URL and prior to being able to see any content beyond the homepage - they must login (I do not want them to go to the login screen for the adminstrative dashboard) just a login screen to view the rest of the site.

   Am I making this more difficult that needed? Their previous static site was password protected but again it was 400+ usernames and passwords - it doesn't appear wordpress allows that since the password-protection by page or post is limited to one username and password.

   Are there any thoughts about what could be used to make this work the way I have listed above? I do not want members to need to register or pay for content, and I only want them to see the home page without logging in their user name and password to obtain access to the rest of the site.

   HELP????
