Manage Content Protection – Best practices

[AnnB]

Hello,

I am setting up eMember on my site and have a few questions about managing protected content.

My plan is to protect content for a few days and then remove the protection. Is there a feature that does this automatically? Can I set something up so that a page is protected for 10 days and then the protection is removed?

How can I see a list in the admin/dashboard area of all my protected pages? I want to be able to see at a glance, which pages are protected?

My blog has more than 2,ooo posts. When I look at the Manage Content Protection page within the dashboard, I do not see any way to filter (see my previous question) nor do I see any kind of search function. What if I wanted to protect all the posts tagged X? What would be the quickes most efficient way to do that?

If you have a lot of posts then definitely use category protection. Category protection lets you protect all the posts that belongs to a category in one go (no need to individually protect 50 posts that all belongs to one category).

Your posts will be categorized into a few categories so it will much more manageable. This way you will be able to know which category is protected for which membership level from the “Category” tab under the “Manage Content Protection” menu.

Thanks for your response.

The problem is that my categories have hundreds of posts and I’m looking to protect just 20-30 posts at any given point in time.

At this point, category protection seems like the nuclear option.

Also, how can I see a list in the admin/dashboard area of all my protected pages? I want to be able to see at a glance, which pages are protected?

All your protected posts, pages, categories are shown in the “Manage Content Protection” section. There is no other *at a glance* option.
