Can I Lock The Content Instead Of Hiding

[fahrettine]

Hi,

I have a video site. The videos are embedded in the pages.

When I protect the contect, the videos cant be seen. They can be seen after login.

I want the video thumbnails can be seen by visitors but cant be played… They can play the videos after membership.

I mean visitors can see the content/thumbnails but the content must be locked. They can be played/watched after membership.

How can I do that?

Thanks…

Hi, The way this is usually done is that you create two sections in your post or page. One section is for non-members and one for the members.

You take a screenshot/image of the video and then place that image in the non-member section. You place the actual video in the section for the members. When a non member view that page, it looks like the video is there but he can’t play it. When a member view that page he sees the full video. You could also create teaser videos (first 30 second of a video) and place it in the section for non-members.

WP eMember has a feature that allows you to do this partial/section protection. Please read the following documentation and you will find out how to use this feature:
