    I love the idea of this plugin but am looking for something slightly different.

    I have an external membership database and can query via an API to see if a user is current or not.

    I would love this plugin so simply call the API and let me know if the user is active or not. I can then allow people to get content from my site.

    Security is not the goal here, just making it harder for people to take stuff without knowing the username of a valid member.

    Hi @millesm,

    So little of the plugin handles what you need and it’s quite a custom thing you’re looking for. I’d recommend you have read of this article (which is what I based the plugin on).

    Yours will be super simple with just a basic API request and can all be handled in one file.

    I’ll mark this as resolved for now as this is outside the scope of the plugin and I hope I’ve pointed you in the right direction.

    I’d love to hear how you get on, and if you have any more questions feel free to post back here also 🙂

    Thanks,

    Tom
