HidePost Plugin for WordPress
Summary
A plugin that hide a part of your blog post ( links, texts... ) that only registered and logged in user can see it. Just put your content between [hidepost][/ hidepost]
From version 2.3, you can add level to hidepost tag like [hidepost=6][/ hidepost] so that only users have their level higher than 6 can see you hidden content.
You can hide all the links in your blog to unregistered users, just go to Option page and check Protect links.
Require WordPress 1.5 and compatible with ( it should ) 2.8.x.
Install
Download it from WordPress's repo , if you installed it through WordPress's plugin page, just skip step 1 and 2
- Upload the folder hidepost into /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Active it through Plugins page
- Go to Option -> Hidepost and check Enable Hidepost
Upgrade
- Deactive Hidepost
- Upload new hidepost folder to /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Reactive it and check the new feature in Option page
Note: If you are upgrade from version 2.2 or less, you'll need to replace your old tag ( maybe [protect] ) with the new tag ( [hidepost] )

Ok, that's my bad
, I'll release a fix soon 
yup, Rick has the same problem that I have.
Oh, btw, what chatbox plugin are you using on your site? Looks pretty good!
It should be fixed in trunk version, but there're still some problems, so I'll release when I fixed them all.
I'm using Google Friend Connect's Wall
Would it be a lot of work to include comments. (Being able to hide comments also, from peoplle reading them that are not logged om?
Either controlled by each person making a comment (including the [hidepost].and [/hidepost] or set as default for all comments when the author writes a blogpost.
It would be bad, because comment in WordPress mostly are public.
But I think I can include it for Author only
Hi, i test first time your plugin and maybe im wrong but when uncheck protect links and content i can see all tags [hidepost] again in text inside of posts. how hide tags when i turn protection off ?. thx great plugin for all of us.
I'm just forgot about it, I'll think about it in the next version
Thanks

Great plugin. I'm trying to locate the cause of an issue running WP v2.8.1 at the moment where HidePost will not show the hidden content when a member is logged into the site.
If logged in as admin it is OK to see the HidePost content but not at lower levels.
Unsure if this is a RoleManager plugin or HidePost plugin issue at this time.
Has anyone else reported this? Thanks
I've just knew that RoleManager causes some conflict with my plugin. I'll take a look with a fresh install of WordPress, hope that I can find the problem.
Too bad that I'm too busy now >.<
Great plugin, and it is just what I am looking for.
I only have one problem with it: When I'm using the TinyMCE editor on my posts/pages, and I have links as part of the text that I want to hide from unregistered users, When I click the button on the TinyMCE editor, and choose the level, all the links and formatting disappears.
Or should I put the [hidepost] area in first, then create the links using TinyMCE?
It just seems like a small bug to me, but if that is the way it is, I will teach them how to do it.
Thanks, seems to be the problem with the visual editor only.
You can put the [hidepost] first, and then insert the link, or simple switch to the normal (HTML) editor. I'll look into it and find a fix soon
hello, i love your plugin and i've been using it for quite a while now, but since the last time i upgraded it, nice upgrade by the way, wich includes the hide links auttomaticaly feature, it does something undesirable... it hides also the "read the rest of this post links" that's inserted with the more tag... any solution will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
rly ?, I don't have this problem in my blog, maybe I have to check
yes really
the more tag is inserted automatically by the evermore plugin, don't know if that's important or not. i'm using WP 2.8.2 btw
thanks
Just to update - my problem wasn't with HidePost in the end, or RoleManager... these two plugins continue to work well together for me with WP v2.8.2. Thanks!
@Jambo seems weird, I installed RoleManager, it modify a little of the Wp's role system. But I don't find any problem with those two plugins, because the user level remains the same.
Great to know that it worked on your blog
great plugin! i'm struggling to figure out how to include "the_excerpt" before the text "Please login ..."
Please advise how to show the excerpt in the dialog box before the please login prompt.
@Jambo
You say your problem wasn't Hidepost or Role Manager; how did you fix it? I'm having the same problem but I don't know what's causing it.
Thanks
is there away that user can only see the post when user leave comment so there is no need to register, thanks
Hi, I have installed your plugin. I am wondering if there is a way I can use your plugin to protect WordPress PAGES. So if I have a single page that I only want subcsribers to be able to access with their own unique password, is there a way to do this with your plugin? Thanks!
Eric Darby
@Eric D
This plugin works fine with page too.
But about the password feature, it's built-in with WordPress, so no need for me to implement this
Great Plugin. Works exactly as expected.
Only I would love to have it in German. Any way to have it localized? (I would be willing to do the translation)
@Christian
I will, in the future, currently I'm too busy. Hope that I'll have some free time in the next month.
