This formerly was an example post for the WP-Members plugin.

A full working demo of WP-Members can be viewed at http://butlerblog.com/wpmembers/

I am releasing a 2.0.1 version of the WP-Members plugin. This fixes the bugs that were in the previous 2.0 release. This version was tested on the new WordPress 2.1.3 and it works swimmingly!

I also created a “Quick Start Guide” to get new users up and running. This guide is available in PDF format and will walk a new user step-by-step through a basic setup of the plugin. It is geared to the complete novice and does not require any HTML or PHP knowledge whatsoever. It does assume that you are using a version of WP that had widgets enabled and that you are using a widget enabled theme. (I used WP 2.1.3 and the default Kubrick theme in the example.) My goal here is to make this easy for the complete novice but scalable for the more advanced user.

Although I don’t know when it will be completed, I am still working on a 2.1 release that includes the admin user management features that were in the 1.x version. Before that is complete, however, I am going to work on a series of videos to accompany the Quick Start Guide.

Go to the WP-Members page to download the 2.0.1 release of WP-Members and the Quick Start Guide.

(Also, there seemed to be some confusion on documentation between 1.x and 2.0 as I had it on the same page. I have permanently moved 1.x documentation to a new home.)

I have been incredibly busy this summer with a number of projects so unfortunately, WP-Members has suffered. When I came back from vacation, there were quite a few unaddressed issues in the comments. I will be looking into those issues and will be releasing at minimum a version with bug fixes and, if I can find the time, some additional features that are on my list.
