A Private – Members Only Area Plugin – Recommendations?
-
I am trying to create a Private – Members Only section on our church website. Naturally, as the website contains information which currently is available to all, I don’t want to restrict access to every part of the site, such that it becomes only viewable by those who have registered. The only part that I do want to be ‘private’ is the Members Section.
I imagine that such a restricted area may contain various confidential items, which quite properly should not be made available to non-members.
I have been scouring the WordPress Plugins Repository, and truth to tell, whilst there are many membership plugins listed, many of them have facilities not appropriate to our present requirements.
Something that gives us the ability to create a ‘protected’ and ‘secure’ Members area, that maybe gives us the option to create an initial entry page after the member has logged on to that section, that would then enable us to create child pages off that – or something similar, would be what we are looking for.
Preferably I wouldn’t want to be messing about with code, and adding bits of code here or there, to add extra functionality – I would prefer it to be simpler than that.
It would be useful to be able to do a general e-mail to registered members from within the capacity of the Members area generated by the plugin.
I know there have been many requests for recommended plugins similar to this, but some forum threads are not current, some plugins are not wholly relevant to our case, and different plugins might now be available which were not so a couple or three years ago. So, can any of you suggest plugins that might fulfill the type of function that I have outlined.
One other thing I perhaps need to mention – our website is created using the Studiopress ‘Genesis’ Framework, with the initial ‘Education’ Child Theme. It would therefore be good if there is a plugin that would integrate with our chosen Theme.
I would be extremely grateful for any response that might help me decide how to proceed.
Many thanks,
