I’m using s2Member for membership handling.
My Initial attempt was just limiting the number of blog posts to 5 and hiding the pagination button based on if someone’s logged in and of the right user level. This works fine, but people can manually add ?page_id=x&paged=y to view more content. Also, if they know the name of the post, they can view it as well.
My thoughts were to add some sort of auto-categorizing, where if the posts aren’t in the 5 newest, they would be auto tagged with the category “archive” which then can be protected using s2members built-in functionality. I just have no clue where to begin with auto tagging a category.
I would appreciate any insight on where to begin with all of this? Also, if you have a better idea of how to do something similar, I’m open to suggestions.
