Hi all, I need a WP Plugin (ASAP!!!) that will RESTRICT all content/Nav buttons/Posts/pages for NON-Members when they hit the HOME PAGE of my website. The ONLY Access I want visitors to have BEFORE Joining is About Us/Contact Us/Memberships/Advertising Pages…..Thats It! If they want to see more they will have to JOIN and Go throught the Registration Process & Set Up A Profile. Is there a Plugin that supports this? And does it allow you to set-up CUSTOM Membership Levels WITHOUT Adding Login & Registration Pages that may conflict with UserPro? I haven’t seen one that DOESN’T add Those Pages or more membership pages. Is there a way to get around this if the plugin add’s pages? Lastly, once new members join…What is the process and where are they re-directed too, and HOW do they get to the HOME PAGE of my website AFTER they create/set-up their profile pages? Where do Existing Members Get sent when they LOGIN to the website? ANY light on this matter would help me tremendously. Thanks In Advance. Blessings…Don.
I believe most of your questions regarding redirection can be answered by going to “Advanced Redirection” menu item under “UerPro”. There are a multitude of combinations you can create with that feature of UserPro. Also, in UserPro > UerPro > Global Options there are log in and log out redirects available. You can also go to UserPro > UserPro > Restrict Content and block virtually every page except the home page unless someone is logged in.
The plugin I recommended to you last night has documentation located here http://www.paidmembershipspro.com/documentation/ . It will handle the registration as well as “Membership” http://wordpress.org/plugins/membership/ from WPMU-DEV. You will have to read the documentation for those plugins to set it up properly. “Mambership” also has an extensive user manual available for download from the WPMU-DEV website.
I hope this helps. 🙂
Thank You Again…Thats God…because Before I read this reply…..I was looking at The Very Same Plugin. Just didn’t know how to get around the Initial Pages that it add’s, because UserPro has Already Created Those CORE Pages Needed. Thank You Again Central Geek…Always On Time Brother. Blessings. Going to See if this will all work together with UserPro Now. Be back in an hour or two.
Central Geek I tried what you suggested….Not exactly what i needed IN ALL for THIS Project..But I Found Another Option That IS Exactly What I’ve Been Seeking In A Nutshell. WP s2Member Plugin This is where it gets tricky for me!!!….Take a look at the Bold Inserts From The Install Instuctions In Posted Here. To Config This Correctly…I Need To Be VERY Clear on HOW To without Causing a conflict with UserPro since it’s Created Pages For Me Already. I have to get s2Members To Work Flawlessly with UserPro! Here’s what s2Members Install Requires:
Your Login/Registration Form (already built-in)
s2Member uses the existing WordPress Login/Registration system. This is the same Login/Registration Form that you use to access your WP Dashboard. However, with s2Member installed, your Login/Registration Forms can be customized (i.e. re-branded). See: s2Member -› General Options -› Login/Registration Design. You can make the default Login/Registration Forms match your WordPress theme design; by changing the background color/image, your logo image, add Custom Fields, and more!
Since s2Member uses the default Login/Registration system for WordPress, s2Member is also compatible with themes and other plugins (such as BuddyPress). If your theme has a login form built-in already, chances are, it’s perfectly compatible with s2Member. There are also many plugins available that are designed to place login forms into your Sidebar; and many of those are also compatible with s2Member’s integration. If you have any trouble, please check the s2Member Forums for assistance.
Your Login Welcome Page (you create this in WordPress)
You create this special Page in WordPress. This is a “Page” not a Post. This is the first page Members will see after logging into your site.
You should go ahead and create an empty Page now, before you start configuring everything. Title it: My Login Welcome Page, and click Publish.
Once you have all of your s2Member -› General Options configured, and once you have a basic understanding of how s2Member works, go back and customize the title and content for this Page. You’ll want to be creative with your Login Welcome Page. However, you should configure your s2Member -› General Options first, and test things out. That way you’ll understand why this Page is important.

Your Membership Options Page (you create this in WordPress)
You create this special Page in WordPress. This is a “Page” not a Post. s2Member comes with a PayPal Button Generator. You will generate PayPal Buttons with s2Member, for each Membership Level that you plan to offer. Those buttons will be inserted into your Membership Options Page. If a User in the general public attempts to access an area of your site that is being protected by s2Member (based on your configuration), s2Member will redirect the User to your Membership Options Page, where they can signup through PayPal and become a Member.

I’m going to try and use this plugin WITHOUT It’s Login/Register Pages having to be created. All I Need To Use is The Restrict Members Content Access By Choosing A Membership Level…. Don’t Need the Registration/Login Pages….I want To Simply Use UserPro’s Pages Registration/Login…just don’t know where to enter while registering>>The Membership Levels For Purchase (Membership)!!! WIll & CAN THIS Plugin WORK With UserPro? Help!!!! Thanks. Blessings.
I’m using “Advanced Access Manager” http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-access-manager/
They have an alpha 2.0 version that has a redesigned look, but it’s lacking in the ability to lock out categories. I have a featured post category that I don’t want users being able to post to it. For that I have stayed with the current version.
The only issue I came across was at one point the access to the administration of the plugin disappeared. I just deleted the plugin and re-installed it and my access was restored with all my settings still in place. The developer said that problem has been fixed in the 2.0 version.

Thanks Scott, I’ll go check that out in a few and see if it can be an option. It’s crunch-time for me…..Down to the wire! Gotta get these things fixed and working. Blessings.
RightHere’s Pages by User Role (http://codecanyon.net/item/pages-by-user-role-for-wordpress/136020), combined with Menus by User Role (http://codecanyon.net/item/menu-by-user-role-for-wordpress/3127921) should do what you want. Must have plugins in my opinion.
Thanks Erica, but I keep hearing here that User Role in a bad choice and doesn’t really work all that great! check a few comment in support about the plugin. I’m going to try a combination of s2Members & UserPro Restrict Features…hope they work together fine with NO Glitches. Thanks Again Sis…Blessings.
