 * I am using the plugin “Paid Membership Pro”. This is in use of the site due to
   having customers pay to have certain privileges they can access on my site. The
   problem I have with this is the fact that this plugin only works toward “pages/
   post”. In my case, I am using a “custom link” in the Navigation menu, therefore,
   I cannot restrict that page.
 * Now, is there a certain method I can connect my external link to a Page. Once
   a user clicks this Page, they are directed to that external link immediately.
 * Thank you for your time and support.

 * I can think of two ways – one hard and one easy. Want the easy way first? 🙂
 * Easy: Create a page (or post) with a blurb about the link and the link itself.
   Protect this page and make a nav menu link to it, which won’t show unless the
   user has proper access.
 * Hard(er): Create a child theme and use either code from the plugin (preferably)
   or the WordPress user_can( $user, $capability ) function to choose whether to
   display this menu item or not. You may need a developer for this one if you’re
   allergic to hacking PHP/WordPress code!
