    Private! is just perfect for setting up a member area but I need to add extra functionality. Inside my member area I want only specific users to see/access certain posts. Assume I have a user ‘A’ and I want him to see only post with a custom field ‘access=A’. Is there any way I can add such a filter to the Private! class? I’m staring at the code for hours now but I can’t figure out where to start or how to archive this.

    BTW: I tried other plugins like Role Manager or UAM but they are overcomplicated for my purpose and it’s a site for someone who needs simplicity.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    You can use my plugin with the capability manager to create custom rules for a specific usergroup. But currently there is no implementation for making custom rules for many usergroups – just for one usergroup.

    Thanks for your reply. After digging deeper into your code I see now how such a custom field filter would complicate things. Here is my solution for the described problem:
    Use the Private! plugin together with Custom Field Template. Create a custom field and populate it with wordpress usernames (the process is described here). Now you can filter posts in your template as described in this article. Don’t forget to filter your categories and feeds too. The last part requires some coding but after it’s done you can easily define fine-grained access rights for your private categories.
