• Is it possible to create a “restricted area” on a WordPress site. Something where a user can log-in and get access to a section with information that you didn’t want to make totally public.

    Is this something you would try with WordPress or not?

    This looks good. I wish I could email the person who did this. I am imagining that this would be easy if instead of adding the users manually you can just give the access when the create a user account.

    I don’t really want to make it totally private, but at least have the person sign-up with a username before accessing.

    In that case, you might find that one of the ‘members’ plugins will do what you want.

    Ah. Thanks a lot for your reply and the direction. Yes, this looks closer to what I might want. Have you run across any sites using these sort of plugins? I guess I will try and browse around.

    Most of the site I will want to be public. However, possibly a page or two I will want to be “restricted” where people can download documents etc..

    I have one page on my site that is for members only (Members->Membership List). Because I only have one page, I just added a couple of lines to the page template:

    <?php if (is_user_logged_in()) : ?>
          <!-- Do the members-only stuff here -->
       <?php  else: // if user_logged_in ?>
          <br />
          <h4>Sorry!  You must be logged in to view the Member List.</h4>
       <?php endif; ?>

    Hi, thanks for the link. Do you manually register users, or do you have your registration automated.

    I’ve been researching different ways to customize registration process and my options seem kind of thing.

    I manually register. I only want club members registered.
