WordPress: How to hide category pages, post titles, page titles, etc.

PROGRAMMING

Hi,

I have a wordpress site that is for invited members only.
I've set up my posts and pages so that they are only visible to logged in users. So far so good...

However, if you access the page without logging in and click on one of the categories, you can still see the title of the posts.
I would like to hide these (also from the search engines). Any plugin that can help with this?

I'd like to hide the menu items as well for not-logged-in users as well.

Any plugins?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Thomas

  I'm using Paid Memberships Pro to do this for my site (menu wise). I'm pretty sure it can be used to hide posts too. Definitely worth a look, it's free afterall

Thanks for the idea.

Would I perhaps be able to add some php code in the line of

if user_not_logged_in, and the page is not frontpage: don's show page

?

  Yea you can - question though, what should be the expected behavior if someone clicks on the categories?
  1) Should it redirect to the logon page?
  2) Should it throw a 403?
  3) Should it show a blank page?
  4) ...?
  
  You can accomplish #1 and #2 fairly easily, in a way that should survive wp and theme updates by using wp hooks:
  
  Function Reference/is category « WordPress Codex
  Plugin API/Action Reference/init « WordPress Codex
  Function Reference/is user logged in « WordPress Codex
  
  Make sure you create a child theme so theme updates won't overwrite your code

Thanks for the input.
What would be great is that if I simply could have a plugin where I can select that certain pages, archives, posts, search results, etc. are not displayed (nor their headlines) if the user is not logged in.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Thomas

I can't say I've written a plugin for WP yet - it's not something I've needed to do, as child themes + hooks can do anything a plugin can do, without having to mess around with the plugin specific stuff (eg. UI, packing, meta.. whatever else).

Have you done any PHP coding before?

Actually, I found a plugin called 'Groups' that allowed me to do what I wanted, so problem solved.

Thanks for all your help.
