you don’t need to be programmer. you will just have to install the addon and see if it works the way you wanted. thats it.

in the upcoming version, there is an option in admin settings page where admin can choose what newly registered account status will be. by default its “Active” but if admin chooses “Pending” then admin will have to manually approve before newly registered user can login.

Just use the following option to create as many free levels you want to create:

this has been fixed in the upcoming version.

category restriction has higher precedence. if you restrict category then all posts under than category is restricted.

simple membership works with posts, page and comments.

you probably want to take a look at classes/class.bPermission.php

thanks

BBPress works slightly differently than normal posts. simple membership doesn’t support BBPress at this moment but its in the upcoming feature list.

i have written an addon to integrate postie with simple membership plugins. i will gladly give to anyone willing to be tester ??

its a two step process:

step 1 (protection): select “General Protection” in the dropdown and check the categories you want to protect. then press “Update” button.
this will enable protection to selected categories.
step 2 (permission): in this step you will allow certain membership level to view protected categories. select select any membership level except “General Protection”. check the *protected* categories that you want this membership level have access to. then press “Update”.

You are done. Hope this helps.

category restriction is introduced in version 1.8.5. you should update your copy.

please explain you use case a bit more in details. do you want to assign a particular membership level to all posts submitted through postie?

why not

can_i_read_post is a member method. you cannot call it directly. you need to call it through its class object. you can do something like this:

$acl = BAccessControl::get_instance();
if(!$acl->can_i_read_post($post->ID)) { DO STUFF }

if you are a programmer and want to write an addon, please take a look at classes/class.bAccessControl.php. it will give you an idea of how to check if a post/page is protected.
