**Why We Made ELM by Ristretto Apps.**
We made ELM because we wanted a simple way to add membership features to our eLearning LMS site we run without having to install and setup a big complicated membership plugin.


== Installation ==


1. Install either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server.
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Go to the Memberships->Settings menu in your Wordpress Administration area and edit your protection message as you see fit.
1. In your Edit Page or Post screen, look for the Ristretto ELM box below the editor and select the ELM membership levels you'd like to use to protect this page or post. Doing so will ensure that only members of those levels will be able to see this content (with the exception of site administrators)
