What plugin could I use to make a community

[borinot]

Hi there!

Thanks a lot for reading this!

I want to create a “kind of” community site. In fact I want to allow users to register to get a login pass, and once they are logged, show them some extra content that not appears if you are not logged.

Untill now, I have not found any plugin that fits this, so I would like you to recommned me some options!

Thanks a lot!

I don’t think you would need a plugin to do this at all…. WordPress allows for multiple users and, if your settings are correct, anyone can register at example.com/wp-login.php. As for displaying content only to logged in users… this is a little trickier, but can be accomplished by using the current_user_can() function to hide specific pieces of content from non-logged-in users. I suggest something like this in your theme files:

<?php
if( current_user_can( 'read' ) ) {
    /* Show special content */
}
?>

Hope this helps,
