# Security/Restrict access to old posts

 * I am trying to implement a security scheme where anyone can read posts (or what
   I am calling “articles”) from the previous 30 days but only registered users (
   subscribers) can read posts that are older than 30 days. Ideally, the age of 
   when a post converts to restricted access could be adjusted from the admin panel
   from 30 days to some other time span.
 * The titles of posts older than 30 days would still be available to everyone but
   users must login before they can view the content. This is to encourage users
   to register so that they can see the posts older than 30 days.
 * Are there any plugins out there that do this or something similar? Can someone
   with plugin experience point me in the right direction? It seems like I’m wouldn’t
   be the first one to want something like this. Thanks!

 * I think this one should do the trick, you would just need to specify a certain
   user level for registered users, and another level for un-registered, then the
   point of the module is to restrict access to categories/areas based on user level—
