Thanks, Chad, but I’m not sure I understand. I have seven individuals for whom I created wp-member identities and assigned passwords. These are the seven currently in the band. Wen they choose the Bandmates Only option from the top menu they will get access to a list of well over a hundred downloadable pieces of sheet music– but only if they can supply a password. What I thought I was aiming for was: the guitarist clicks Bandmates only. A password challenge appears. S/he puts in the username and password. The sheet music page appears.

In this way only the seven band members I’ve allowed will be able to access it.

As I watch the video you recommend, it is mainly based on blogs, not static web pages, though I’m sure that both could be handled by this. One problem is that the video examples are all dated Sept. 17, 2008. I have the most recent version of the plugin, which I downloaded only a couple of weeks ago.

I am beginning to think that this may not be the plugin for me, for the simple and straightforward task I need it for, and that I should be scouting out other membership plugins.

I will continue trying to implement the one I have, and will pay close attention to rocket geek documentation. But meanwhile, if you or any other readers have a recommendation for another plugin that might be better for my need, I’d certainly be interested and grateful to hear about it.

Thanks for such a quick reply, Steve, very helpful, and I’ll have a look at that plugin. I don’t need to restrict viewing of particular rows of a table, or part of a page… but it gets me thinking about a future possibility, so that’s a bonus. Thanks very much again. This is a great community.

Did you refresh the site after you made the table changes?

Not sure what you mean by a formatted empty table. You can have an empty table on the back end, of course, and anything you type into it will then be visible on the page in which you have put the short code for the table. Are we talking about the same thing? I suspect that if there is anything this plug in doesn’t provide, you aren’t likely to find it anywhere else. Tobias is pretty thorough. Maybe he’ll weigh in on this.

You’ll see a band that says “Table Content, with a down arrow out to the right. It’s directly above “Table manipulation” Click that down arrow.

Don’t feel bad– I had the same problem!

Excellent! Couldn’t be easier. Thanks, Tobias, you’re the best!

Oy! I’m such an idiot. Just never noticed those little arrows. I’ll still have some tweaking to do,however. The column contains titles of eastern European folk songs (folk dance music), and “Ceresna” (but with a hacek over the see) sorted to the top of the list above “Ada’s Kujawiak.” ?? I’m moving a table of downloadable music to a WordPress site from an ancient FrontPage 2003 site. (You may stop laughing now!) I had hoped to pretty much duplicate the old site, but it looks like that ain’t gonna happen!

Anyway, thanks so much for your quick response to my dumb question. Much appreciated. BTW, I noticed you play baseball! Anyone who loves that game is a friend of mine!
