And yet another plugin (new?) called Wp NonRegPost that allows users to hide portions of a post by using tags.
Thats perfect Mosey!
I have been looking for some plugin that could make some of a post hidden to users who isn’t logged in…
Just missing a button for the unskilled user who dosent know how to write
in the html commands )-; thats a big issue…
Anybody know of another plug in where you can hide things partially?
@casperse: For the ‘missing’ button, perhaps you could consider editing the quicktags.js file or perhaps using a plugin to manage quicktags? Then this would allow you to add in the button for hiding content.
p/s: Thanks!
p/s2: With reference to this thread, there might be another plugin called HideIt that archives the same functionality. Have no idea if it’s compatible with 2.5 though.
Mosey: Only future problem with that is that the next time you upgrade WP you are depended on many plugins to be updated )-;
And the smaller the following of users the more its not likely its going to be updated…but thats the gamble you take.
but the link you gave to Hideit have allot of similar plugin links below on that same page (-;
I just downloaded the plugin that is made from e-commerce (Should be supported some time in the future, you can find it here
but not sure if it can hide things partially?
@casperse – I’d have to agree there, so the manual edit (first link from before) is probably/hopefully more useful than Quick Tags Manager?
Thank for the link to the new plugin. I haven’t tried it out yet but on first glance, it doesn’t *look* as though it can hide things partially. But it seems to be one of their newest plugins so perhaps they’ll extend the functionality? 🙂
The good thing is that it seems to automatically remove the relevant page from the navigation bar automatically (the sidebar module at least).
Mores – thanks for your login box. It helped me get around a problem with disappearing password functionality in WP 2.5.1 that surfaced after I imported the draft WP blog.
What is strange is that the Posts are still ‘protected’ with their passwords, but Pages are not – even though I can see them and edit the passwords on the ‘edit page’ page.
Hats off to everyone that bothers to report their solutions to problems here! TANKS!
I wish I’d discovered this days ago, make that weeks ago. I have been struggling with other plugins and purchased a system that isn’t working the way I hoped.
This sounds just what I need. Still reading through all the options as I’m not a techie, but looks great.
I tried this and it doesn’t seem to be working. I’ve cleared my cache and logged out of wordpress but I can still see the “protected” members only pages
The website is
http://whydietsdontworkclubmembers.com
I already had a page called goldmembers, so I edited it to use the members.php template and saved it.
The protected pages should therefore be the blog posts at
http://whydietsdontworkclubmembers.com/goldmembers/
I copied the code from above and I republished the posts in case that was the problem.
What am I doing wrong???
<?php
/*
Template Name: Members
*/
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<?php if (is_user_logged_in()) { ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h3 class="page-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<div class="post">
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<? } else { ?>

Any help appreciated. Thanks
@talia – check the top of your template page. It should be something like
<?php
/*
Template Name: Members Only
*/
?>
– take note of the closing php tag. Also, there are a couple of errors that are keeping your page from validating. See the validator.w3.org.
thank you lizzyfin
i will give it a go. i guess i didn’t copy and paste the code right.
I went to the validator but the error messages mean nothing to me. I’m not techie I have no idea how to fix them.
Help? Please
@talia: Glad to read that the members-only solution(s) proposed here are now working for you 🙂 Extra thanks to LizzyFin!
However, with all due respect, perhaps another thread can be created under Miscellaneous or ‘Your WordPress’ regarding your non-validation errors please?
Then you would be able to post the extra details from the validator in the new thread.
Thanks 😀
mosey – the changes are NOT working for me
i would really appreciate some help protecting the members only area
the website is visible to everyone unless my computer is caching it. but i have refreshed it several times
i cleared the cache and browsing history and posted the page but it is still showing to everyone
i copied and pasted the code joni provided and other people tested it so why doesn’t it work?
i’m getting desperate. i spent a lot of time mucking around with amember only to find it can’t protect virtual directories. now i have to try and get something else in place
