Title: LAPDI Member Portal Author: Sharron Denice Published: August 7, 2026 Last modified: August 7, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/lapdi-member-portal/assets/banner-772x250.jpg?rev=3638080) ![](https://ps.w.org/lapdi-member-portal/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=3638080) # LAPDI Member Portal By [Sharron Denice](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sharrondenice/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/lapdi-member-portal.1.0.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lapdi-member-portal/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lapdi-member-portal/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lapdi-member-portal/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lapdi-member-portal/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lapdi-member-portal/) ## Description LAPDI Member Portal gates protected pages, post types and other plugins’ member- only content to logged-in users, and gives members a self-service front-end account page. It ships with sensible, universal defaults and is fully configurable from its own settings screen — nothing is hardcoded to any one site’s setup. #### Features * A front-end account/login page with a nonce-protected profile form (first name, last name, display name, email) * Configurable **access capability** gating protected content — defaults to `read`, which every logged-in WordPress user already has, so it works out of the box on any site * Editable, autocompleting **protected page paths** and **protected post types** lists — click either field to see every page/post type already on the site * Editable **member capabilities** granted to the Portal Member role (and Administrator), for other plugins/theme code to check against * A `Portal Member` role, created automatically on activation * `[lapdi_member_account]` shortcode for the account page * WordPress-native password recovery and nonce-protected logout * `noindex,nofollow` on account and protected front-end requests #### Required framework LAPDI Member Portal requires TSP Easy Dev to be installed and active. WordPress blocks activation until that dependency is available and active. #### Works with LAPDI Events If [LAPDI Events](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lapdi-events/) is also active, its“ Members only” event visibility automatically defers to this plugin’s configured access capability — no extra setup required. ## Installation 1. Install and activate TSP Easy Dev. 2. Upload the plugin under **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin** and activate it. 3. Activation creates the `Portal Member` role and creates (or fills, if empty) an Account page containing `[lapdi_member_account]`. 4. Open **LAPDI Plugins Member Portal** to review or change the access capability, protected page paths, protected post types, and member capabilities — all editable from that screen. 5. Confirm the protected paths/post types match your site’s actual structure; the settings screen lists everything currently on the site to choose from. ## FAQ ### Do I need to create a custom role or capability myself? No. The plugin creates a `Portal Member` role automatically and grants it a safe default (`read`) for protected-content access. Only change the access capability if your site already has its own membership capability you’d rather gate on instead. ### How do I protect an additional page or post type? Open **LAPDI Plugins Member Portal**, and add the page slug or post type in the relevant field — start typing or click into the field to see suggestions drawn from your site’s actual pages/post types. ### What personal data does the plugin store? The account form updates the current user’s standard WordPress first name, last name, display name and email fields. WordPress includes those core account fields in its personal-data export and erasure tools. Member Portal stores site-wide access settings, an account page ID, and role capabilities, but it does not create a separate profile-data table or send profile data to an external service. ### What happens when I delete the plugin? Permanent deletion removes the Portal Member role, Member Portal settings, and plugin- owned capabilities. Users whose only role was Portal Member receive the site’s default role so they are not left roleless. The Account page and standard WordPress user profile fields are preserved because they may contain administrator-authored content or user-owned data. Ordinary deactivation does not remove anything. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “LAPDI Member Portal” is open source software.
