WP Members Plugin – WordPress Tutorial Video

In this WordPress tutorial video we cover using the WP Members plugin to restrict content only available for members. Free WordPress Training by Site Sparker.
I don’t need to process payments because everything is free. I just want people to register before they can view the website and comment. I also want a plugin for newsletter. I’m really sorry to bother you with this btw, I’m just new to those kinds of plugins
@chiinarr try S2Member plugin or Theme My Login to see if it does what you need. If you don’t need to process payments, then you don’t need a member plugin, just a better way to manage the registration process. If you need it for a newsletter, try ALO Newsletter which effectively registers people for the site too.
No its the default one. I have no idea why I dont have it. im running a official dutch fanclub for a singer and it has to be online by next week. I really wanted the ”register” and login part. But would that even be possible if I dont have that Custom fields option.
@chiinarr Are you running your own installation of WordPress? Because Custom Fields is very definitely available under Screen Options found when editing posts and pages.
Nope. There even isnt a custom fields option. It just says: Author, Comments, Date.
how to edit the heading in the side bar.. coz it showing WP.. n u know some clients dont like it at their website.. coz they only wanna have their own logo or juz simply .. Register Here… n also the registration form have Powered by: WP-Members link at the end of it.. can u help me to remove it?.. i will b really thankful with ur help dude
@chiinarr try clicking on the Screen Options button up top… you most likely have the Custom Fields option turned off.
I’ve got a problem. you see the part at 5;25 where u write something in the custom field.. I don’t have a custom fields. Its blank underneat my ”page”
great tutorial
whoops! sorry about that. I looked all over the WP Members site and couldn’t find it. I think I must have unintentionally cut that out of the video. Chances are it can be found in the WP Forums because I certainly didn’t come up with that on my own. Try going to WP Members plugin page in the WP plugin directory, then click on forum posts. Has to be in there.
@SiteSparker He was talking about the snippet you pasted into comments.php
@daviesladies No code exactly… it’s found under the Discussion settings. “Users must be registered and logged in to comment ” should be checked. If that IS checked, then there might be some additional setting in the members plugin. In that case, I suggest going to the WP Members plugin page then click on the Forum posts link on the right sidebar. Chances are someone else has had the same issue.
what was the code you used for preventing commenting for unregistered users? if you could help i would really appreciate it.
