=== Page Security by Contexture === Contributors: Contexture Intl, Matt VanAndel, Jerrol Krause Donate link: http://www.contextureintl.com/ Tags: security, permissions, users, groups, page, post Requires at least: 3.0.0 Tested up to: 3.0.0 Stable tag: 1.0.0 Allows admins to restrict access to posts, pages, or entire sections of a site to approved user groups. == Description == Contexture Page Security (CPS) adds some much-needed "page security" to WordPress. With Contexture Page Security you can now limit access to posts, pages, or entire sections of your website. Easily create "Members-only" sections of your site with CPS' built-in "Registered Users" smart group - or create your own custom user groups to limit access only to users that you want. Any security restrictions you add are automatically inherited by sub-pages, enabling you to quickly secure entire sections of your site with plenty of flexibility. CPS also applies your security settings to menu links, RSS feeds, and blog post excerpts as well, ensuring your secure content doesn't accidentally creep onto your site because of an overlooked WordPress option. CPS is simple and easy to use. Visible changes made to the Dashboard are: 1. Two new options are located under the Users category. This includes "Groups" and "Add Group". 1. A "Restrict Access" sidebar is available when editing any page or post. 1. A "Group Membership" overview is added to the "Edit User" pages. Additional features: 1. The "Restrict Access" sidebar is AJAX-loaded, so any changes you make to security are saved immediately! You do not need to click the "Update" button to save changes to the page's security. 1. Any page or post can be easily made "admin only". When editing a page, check the "Protect this page it's descendants" checkbox but don't add any groups. By default, all protected pages can be seen by admins - but if you don't add any groups, they will be invisible to all non-admin users. This plugin is still under development and should NOT be relied on to protect mission critical data. We make no warranty about it's effectiveness during real-world use. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! == Installation == 1. Upload `contexture-page-security` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 1. You're finished!
