    Been learning from Adam for a long while now. Every now and then, I would see comments bashing him for talking "too much". Don't ever change Adam! You talk just the right amount! There are those of us who want to understand why this or that step is needed. Unlike those who just follow along blindly, not understanding (and therefore not retaining the knowledge) what they're doing.
    Thank you for all your work, Adam! Love, from the Philippines :)

    Damn, that's a lot of pieces coming together. I probably wouldn't have understood it if I didn't watch all of your recent videos but it's all pretty clear. I suppose you can't select a specific role based on the value of a form field with automator for free? Basically you're fixed with a setting specific role when logging. The other roles don't apply here, correct?

    • @WPCrafter
      @WPCrafter  4 года назад

Maybe a paid form plugin where they would have more flexibility. The least expensive way would be to use Woo then buy a subscription plugin on CodeCanyon for $50.

    This is one of the most useful videos I have seen in RUclips - ever. It is pointing out a clear path for turning my free site into a subscriber site in a near future. Some posts and some pages will be for logged in subscribers, some will be for all visitors. I need all visitors to see title/excerpt/main image in all content. Subscribers should see the complete content, while non-subscribers should see a "buy to read-message" in stead of the text in the protected content. In other word standard news site functionality, using the content to sell subscriptions. I think I saw it somewhere in the video, but to be sure: Will that kind of setup be available with the combination method you are describing? Or will it only decide if the _whole_ post/page is visible or not for the user?

    Hi Adam, Great video but I think you left out several things for this to work that probably would have taken another 5-10 minutes to see it through. I am a new WP user and so perhaps you assumed this audience of non-techies would know these things. Here are some gotchas that I am encountering. 1) how to link the sign-in form to a menu item 2) I am confused on how to verify the person signing in is a valid user. It seems just anything entered in (spam) the form would be approved by automator and they have access to the site?

    Thank you very much Adam for creating this great free membership website tutorial. What about the membership pages being indexed by the search engines? I have only watched 18 minutes of your video so far, but I wanted to ask so I would not forget to ask after watching your entire video.

      Great question, the content will not be indexed which is how you would want it because if it is indexed, its also copied by the search engines and anyone can see cached version.

      @@WPCrafter Thank you for your reply Adam. Does that happen automatically or is there something that I would have to do in order to prevent the content from being indexed?

      @@jimjuris I suppose that the redirect applies to both users or anynomous users that haven't got access AND to search engines. The page is not accessible when not logged in so it cannot be indexed.

    Kadence (Pro?) has Page Protection options at the page level - Choices are:
    * Inherit from parent
    *Anyone at any time
    * Any logged in user
    * [all the levels use set in the User area]
    The options also include, among other things:
    * Only/Not these Tags
    * When forbidden, redirect to:"
