DUH! OK I figured it out. There were many blank line returns at the end of viewlevel.php and wp-blog-header.php Not sure how they got there, but when I deleted them all, everything worked OK. Hope this helps someone else!
wyzewoman, using viewlevel.php version 1.1.2 (WP1.2), the $show_private_message feature does not work. It will display the message, but even when logged in, it will not show the post. I can see the meta information for the post, even the “Edit this” when logged in as admin, but the copy remains hidden.
No huge ordeal for me, but since using MtDewVirus’s RecentPosts plugin, the protected posts titles show. It just returns a “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” if you are not logged in.
Is the site that was hosting this dead? Can someone post a mirror?
http://www.furbona.org/ is down, can anyone post a mirror somewhere ? Pleeeeaaase ? 🙂
furbona.org is back up again – sorry everybody! I was out of town for a few weeks and the server went down (actually, the ethernet cable just needed jiggling. Simple enough, but not something I could do remotely..)

Using your ViewLevel plugin since you first posted it and love it (as it solves the only big feature request I ever had sincd b2).
Installed version 1.1.2 yesterday and everything works fine – except I do have a feature request: How can one limit the padlock to show only from a specific level upwards, i.e. below level 5 the padlock will not show next to a message but higher leveled messages will show the padlock?
I use the plugin on 2 distinctly different sites:
a) 90% of postings are level 0 and only some are hidden – padlock feature works great.
b) 5% of postings are level 0, 80% are level 1, 10% are level 3 and 5% are level 7.
Having a padlock next to 95% of the messages makes the site look ugly. I only want the 5% messages at level 7 to be padlocked.
How can I do that?

is there a way to adjust the code to have only messages of e.g. level 7 and up show a padlock? thanks for any hint.

I just noticed that even though my private posts are hidden in an RSS feed, if one were to open the rss.php file itself in a browser, the private posts are visible. Is this avoidable, or should I just give up on being able to view my private posts on my site? Thanks in advance for any help! 😉
Tinarenee,
You see private posts in your browser because you have a cookie with your browser that tells WordPress you’re logged in. If you log out of wordpress, then view the rss.php file, you won’t be able to see the private posts.
Also – vincent – yes, my server is down. I should be able to get it up in the next few days – the difficulty is that I have lost my keys and thus can’t get into the office where I have the computer. 😛

Thanks Kendra, for your response.
I tested a few other scenarios on my laptop, and a couple of other user’s PCs and found the issue narrowed down to the browser. In IE, whether signed into WordPress or not on any PC – I can’t see the private posts when viewing the rss.php directly in the browser. However, I’m a Firefox user – and the private posts are visible no matter what PC I use, signed into WordPress, or not. Can anyone else test this also?
I got this plugin from Tina, but I’ve noticed that if I login as a non-user the post is visable, but says “You cannot view this unless you’re logged in” or something. I have the DisplayMessage toggled OFF in the config file. I’m using 1.3b4.
Any idea why?
Need help looking for your keys? 🙂
Anyone get this working (or similar functionality) under 1.3?
Is there anyway, within the loop, to detect if the user is logged in? That would be just fine, as if the user is not logged in I could insert html comment tags around the post to hide it. Not the prettiest solution, but it’d work for now.

When is the server going to be back up, Kendra? I’m very interested in giving the plugin a try.
