Members Only Page

  • Hello all!

    I just have a quick question – I have one page (not post) on my site that I’d like to lock to non-members.

    I want them to see that it’s there, but when they click on it I’d like a notice telling them to login to view this page, does anyone have a suggestion of a good plugin for this?

    One I tried was Member Access, but this only shows non-members the 404 page – I want them to know they need to login to view this page. A javascript popup would be pretty cool, then they’d see the page in the background, but a normal page is fine too.

    Also, if it comes with a login button / login with Facebook / registration form built in then that would be pretty rad too, but not vital.

    So any suggestions / ideas would be great!
    Thanks!

    Anyone? =D

    Hey, you could do this with the free version of wp-members (except for the Facebook login bit).

    Do this:
    1. install and activate the wp-members plugin
    2. immediately UNcheck the “block posts by default” option in the wp-member admin and save options. Otherwise your entire site will be blocked.
    3. go to the post or page you want to block and add a custom field called “block” with a value of true or 1.

    Bonus: If you want to show the first part of the content on the page before the blocked messages shows up, turn on “show excerpts” and add the <!–more–> link into the protected post. (you still have to do step 3. above for each post or page to be blocked.)

    Hope that helps!
    Andy
