Private Client Area Plugin

You can make pages private so someone has to login to see them. Then you could have a whole series of private pages. With just a little template tweaking you could also have a custom menu that only appears when someone is logged in to the site.

That sounds great, thank you very much.

The process I would ideally like would be:

1. One landing page for all clients with a log-in form.

2. When a client page logs in they arrive a landing page containing only content relevant to them.

I've seen something that could work here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-a-free-client-portal-for-wordpress-35?replies=5

Though I'm not sure if this would be a stable solution, would you have any thoughts?

Many thanks in advance. Jake

You can definitely do this with native functionality. Try playing around with creating some private pages. Do you know how to edit template files?

If so, you can use code like this to wrap your private navigation in if you need:

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

   // Create a menu in the admin area
    wp_nav_menu( $args );

} 
?>

Also see this for help with the navigation: http://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus

If it works, please write a blog post or post back up here what you did and how it worked for you! I would love to be able to reference that when people ask to do similar things.

Thanks!!!

Jake Bolton were you able to resolve this?
