Many wordpress plugins use codes or tags that can be inserted into a post or page. Below, we list just a few examples of plugins that do this and how you can integrate their features and functions with wp-Member protection. While you can protect the whole post, page or category, we prefer to use the Teaser / Content protection feature of wp-Member. This is because it then allows guests to view the post or page, but requires them to login or register to be able to view the full content which increases the number of registering members. However, if you desired, you could protect the post, page or category using a single or multiple membership level so that only users with the correct membership level could view the post, page or category.
TDO Mini Forms
TDO Mini Forms allows you to create forms which can be placed on a page or post. When a user completes the form, it creates a post or page within your wordpress blog. These can be queued so that you have full control over what content is added to your site.
We have created a form that allows users to post articles into one of three categories. Each category is protected using only one membership level, but you could use as many membership levels as you liked for each category. The page that the form has been added to has also been protected so that only Basic users can access the form. For example, you may want to only allow paying or free members to be able to post articles while letting all users read the articles. Alternatively, you may want to allow all users to post articles, but only allow paying users to read the articles.You could even go one further and edit the TDO Mini Form output so that the main article uses Teaser / Content protection so that all users can view the post, but they need to login to be able to read all of the content within the post. The possibilities are endless and it is entirely up to you how you want to structure the whole process.
While TDO Mini Forms allows you to set who can use the form, the options are only based on the roles (subscribers, editors etc.). By protecting the page using wp-Member, you can restrict access to a specific membership level. You could set the protection to include any membership levels you like. We have used the teaser / content protection feature of wp-Member to hide the form created by TDO Mini Forms, forcing users to register or login before they can view and complete the form.

WP-Table Reloaded
WP-Table Reloaded allows you to create very nicely styled tables within posts or pages. There are many features to allow users to sort, search and even download the table depending on your desired settings. This is the same plugin that is used on AdZeit.com to display Google AdSense and AdWord keywords in table form.
We have created one table and protected it using Teaser / Content protection.

Simple:Press
Simple:Press is a forum plugin that will create a page that is used for your forum. It does not use short codes and as such, can only be protected as a page. This will allow you to provide a forum for only select membership levels. In this example, we have protected the forum page using wp-Member so that only Basic and Premium members can access the forum. Guests and free members will not be able to access the forum. There are many other forum plugins available which all work in a similar way, such as WP Forum Server and Minge Forum. Providing the plugin uses a post, page or category, it can be protected using wp-Member.
