 * 1. Set up General Options, and set Allow Open Registrations? to Yes.
 * 2. For Restriction Options, protect every post or page (that you want to keep
   for approved members) at level 1.
 * 3. Now users will be able to register at level 0, but they won’t be able to access
   anything except the Login Welcome Page.
 * 4. To approve them, upgrade them manually to level 1.

 * ahhh i figured i may have to do that… thanks.
 * also,
    When i set restriction option on pages, they hidden when not logged in.
   is there a way they can not be hidden and if people click on the page they will
   be asked to login first?

 * There are two ways you could do that.
 * One means unprotecting the pages, and instead using shortcodes to protect the
   content. See `API/Scripting -> Simple/Shortcode Conditionals`
 * The other means keeping the pages protected as now, but using one of the following
   plugins to show the titles of the pages in menus:
    - Nav Menu Roles
    - Privileged Menu

 * Wow easy enough, thank you 🙂
 * One Last Question, i can’t seem to get the <?php wp_loginout(); ?> to work on
   my website. my theme has a top header and i placed that code in the widget area
   for the top header however nothing displays. How do i get a login/register/logout
   button for users to click on

 * Again, if you are looking for a suitable widget, you have two options. One is
   to upgrade to the Pro version, which comes with such a widget.
 * The other is to use the Sidebar Login plugin.
 * I’ll add one word of caution, though. If the PHP code you’re using doesn’t work,
   there’s a chance that neither of these will either. If you find that’s the case,
   then you will need to ask advice from your theme’s developer.
