Fortes... Could you spare a moment and take a look at my question above in a post that begins...

"Your plugin is absolutely amazing..."

Would genuinely appreciate a reply. Thanks

Carl,

I found the same thing, and incorporated this work-around. Instead of my blog home page displaying the Most Recen postst, I added this line to the home.php page under my theme directory

just below the line that identified the middle "body" section of my page was to begin. For my theme that line reads:

What that does is show the Main Category posts on the home page without disturbing any other WordPress features. I chose Main just because, for me, that seemed like the most logical place to put the posts for all viewers to see. You can make it ANY category you have set up, just change the code above and replace the word main with the "slug" name assigned to your category. You can also set the number of posts that will show on that page. You see above, mine says 10. Of course, the key is to then check off the Category you decided on when creating a new post, for all of the posts you want to be available to the public.

Then, I put a Widget showing the Most Recent list and the Category list in the sidebar, and depending on the user level you set, they will only see the posts in Most Recent that they have access to. Same for the Category list. When they click on one of them, they will only see the posts they have access to under that Category. Not perfect, but definitely viable.

For me, though, I really want to have all the posts show on the main page, or anywhere. Just the title, though, so my user's can see what they are missing and upgrade their membership to gain access to them. That is what my post above addresses. In the meantime, this works.

Yes, leica, I've tested it, and that is exactly how it works. If the user is at level 6, for example, they can see 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Simply a breath of fresh air to listen to an informed review that "drills down" to the details before a product launch. Kudos!

Your plugin is absolutely amazing, allowing me to provide a rich, management resource to my member site, and I wanted to thank you for sharing it with us all.

You have been completely forthcoming and honest about the fact that this plugin was developed a while ago, and "is currently broken for many people using versions of WordPress 2.3 and above." Frankly, with the level of functionality I've experienced thus far I'd hardly say it is broken... just made for an earlier version of WordPress. I am using WordPress 2.5.1 and all but one feature are working exactly as intended. The one feature that isn't is the POST PREVIEW drop down list under the POST LEVELS CONFIGURATION menu. It is weird... the drop down list displays the options properly, which include these 4 choices; none, title only, title plus excerpt, and teaser, until you choose one and hit UPDATE POST LEVELS. Once you do that and go to the "options saved" page, the drop down lists displays a single option that reads, "none for posts to be completely hidden from people who aren't logged in." And, the result for my "logged in" users is that those with the proper levels attached to them see the posts, while those who have lower level settings than the post was assigned, don't.

I'd be happy to donate to your cause, or pay you to help me troubleshoot this issue, because having the ability to let my junior members see what they are missing will effectively boost sales in membership upgrades. Well, worth the $$. Possible?
