Registration Plus

  • I just installed WordPress 2.7 and Registration Plus. I would like to require people to Register and then have to log-in prior to being able to comment on certain topics.

    The registration process works fine, but I can not figure out how to only make the forum Categories and related Comments visible or available to those who have registered.

    The only Settings I could see that were applicable where for Membership and I tried both settings (on/off) for “Anyone Can Register”, and I did not see anything applicable in the Registration Plus settings.

  • normally, comments are visible to everyone. But commenting depends on the settings. Setting it to “need to be registered to comment” will do that.
    Now, you can set commenting for every post individually. So make sure to deactivate this bit where you do not want people to comment.

    You can also create a category-X.php file, where X is the category ID, and leave the commenting codes in it, but remove them for category.php.

    But again, anyone can read comments. Do disable that you need to work with php …

    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
 //show comments
}

    You might want to try Role Scoper. It has a bit of a steep learning curve but it has some awesome possibilities.
