Admins not members?

[VelmaG]

As an Admin I’m not able to see the content. I have to log in as a test member in order to see the content.

The problem with this is I’m logged in to work. Then I get logged out when I log in as a test member.

In other words it’s difficult to work on the creation of the site when I’m having to log in and out between a member and admin account.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

One easy way to do this is to not log in as your test user in the same browser where you are logged in as admin.

So for example… if you are logged in as admin in Firefox then use Chrome or IE to log in as your test user (this way you can see what your visitor will see since they will not be logged in as admin).

I thought this was strange too (not being able to see content). With WishList, when I’m logged in to WordPress I become admin and can see everything. Is there some way to make it possible for an admin to be able to access everything (using EMember) when logged in, rather than having to login to a specific account?

WP eMember does not use the wordpress user’s database (wishlist does). Having a completely separate membership table gives us the flexibility to offer many features that other membership plugins cannot. We also don’t like to modify a core WordPress database table (WP users table). Anyway, without going to much into implementation details… to get the same effect you need to enable the “WordPress User Integration” feature and then import your WP Admin user to a special membership level (you can call it admin level) that has access to all content protected by eMember.
