 * Hi,
 * We have been running WP-members on a localhost so far and everything is working
   great!
    However, we are not using any “content restriction features” from WP-
   members so we have it setup to not block any posts or pages (we will use WordPress
   publish as “private” option for that). We will also not use any frontend forms.
 * Our purpose with WP-members is adding custom fields (in combination with WP User
   Avatar -plugin) for backend user management.
    Now we have three separate upcoming
   websites where this scenario would fit and I´m new to WordPress user/membership
   management so I just wonder if you could comment on whether it´s wise to use 
   WP-Members even if we are not using it´s main features (which I guess is content
   restriction?) ?
 * Thanks!

 * The only answer in this case would be “it depends.” Probably the best advice 
   I could give is to say test it out and see if it does what you want and if you
   are comfortable with its features.
