    I have amember setup for a client, and also wordpress. (amember = /members folder, and wordpress = /secret folder). I am savvy with computers, php, coding, ect. However I am trying not to implement cheap quick hacks by adding in a php code myself.

    I have noticed that David, on his membership academy site, is doing exactly what I am aiming at. I already have everything setup. Hidden content and links are hidden, just leaving a teaser. When an account is made into amember, it passes into wordpress as well just fine.

    I have two things left to knock out.

    1 - The login link on the footer of the wordpress page. In the URI of the Login link, I want it to have the path to amember's login with a redirect to tag in it. Mine still has the crummy wordpress login link. What do I have to do to have it insert my amember login address and redirect to the current page? Is it a plugin? If so, which plugin? Also what about other links, like when viewing a post it will say the user needs to login, and have that link point to my amember with a redirect to the post/page they were trying to view. Member isn't logged in, they are trying to read a new post, so they click the login link on it and login via amember and it automatically redirects them back to the post they were at?

    2 - Which protect mode do I select for achieving the teaser? I set it to new_rewrite and that blocks everything (david's "walled garden" reference). That isn't what I want. If I am doing the teaser method, and have plugins in wordpress hiding my hidden content/links by amember level, do I need to use the protect method at all then?

    Are you a premium member of mine? did you watch the integration videos?

    You need to edit the wordpress theme file, footer.php

    Get Ken Gary's amprotect plugin

    Thanks David. No I am not, I saw your site through your footer.

    I wasn't sure if there was a plugin, or if the link was hard coded into the code. Editing the code is a breeze, just was looking for a plugin that was dynamic so when the theme is changed, everything still works fine. I will check that plugin you referenced, thanks.
