## Description

There are a lot of really well done, inclusive membership plugins out there… but
sometimes they are overkill. Simple Members Area
 allows you to setup a section 
of your site that logged in users can access in a matter of minutes.

The premise is simple, you create your “members area” by creating pages and saving
them as “private.” Then you can choose which
 private page your members should be
redirected to upon login. Conceivably this page would have links to your other private
pages (if there are any.)

With this plugin you can have a default landing page or have a specific page for
each user as well.

## Screenshots

 * Members can be assigned a landing page

 * You can assign a “default landing page” for those who don’t have a page specified

 * All you have to do is make pages “private” and you have a members area

## Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

e.g.

 1. Upload the ‘simple-members-area’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Create a page that you’d like to be the landing page for your users and save it
    as “private”
 4. Add a user with the role of “member”
 5. Select the private page you just added as their login page
 6. You’re done! When the user logs in they will be redirected to the appropriate page

## FAQ

  Do pages have to be private?

Technically no, but then anyone can access them if they have the web address.

  How do I remove “PRIVATE” from the begining of the page title?

I’d recommend using the [WordPress Helpers plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-helpers/)

  Can I have an entire members section?

Absolutely. Create as many private pages as you’d like, then make one parent page
that has links to all of them. Just
 select the parent page as the users landing
page.
