   Hi. I want to have pages with https redirection and then authentication if possible. I was wondering if there was a way in wordpress to do this. I searched the forums but wasnt able to come up with much.

   I dont want to use the pages authentication if possible. Id rather that a page only be visible to registered users.

   Making a page template that will only display the page content to registered users is fairly easy. Just copy the theme's index.php to a Page Template (and add the Page Template header), then use this bit of code:
   

   if (is_user_logged_in()) {
   // code to display the page goes here
   } else {
   // code to say "you must be logged in to see this page" goes here
   }

   As an easier method you could also utilize my AWSOM News plugin, which has options to display content within a news post to only certain levels of registered users, or to only non-registered users. The News post can be added to any post, page, or set to display on your index page, or any theme location using a code. Each News post is individually set for user level that can view the content.

   Otto that sound great but how would i use the code above in this template below:

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Protected Page
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   	<div id="content">
   
   		<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
   		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   		<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   
   		<?php the_content(); ?>
   
   		<?php endwhile; else: ?>
   
   		<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
   
   		<?php endif; ?>
   
   	</div>
   
   	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   	<?php get_footer(); ?>
   
   </div>

   Thanks

   I use these two plugins to control access. Some feedback on actually how effective they are would be appreciated. Have a look at my missus site koester.co.uk. You shouldn't see any posts.

   WP-Sentry

   I think this first one does what you want

   Private Plus

   This second one allows you to lower the level at which the private stuff can be seen
