Hi

I would like to setup a private wordpress site, invite only membership.

Basically i would like to have family / friend groups with posts only associated and visible to that group.

The front end would have set post categories and once the member is logged in they can only see the posts associated to that group.

Once the user adds a post its automatically associated to the group they are in.

I've been looking at a plugin called press permit by http://presspermit.com/ anyone used this?

Has anyone got any advice on plugins or other options to achieve the above.

Cheers

Hi, welcome to the forums

 

I rarely use plugins, this is how I would have done it:

 

I would add a new user role or more than one if needed and assign capabilities to the new role/s: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_role

Then I would show the content for different user groups.

if(is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can('user-role-name')){
    //Show content 
}

Hope that makes sense. The plugin you mentioned seems to be able to do the job, maybe try it and see how that goes.

 

Good luck
