I have created a video tutorial website in a WordPress template – videozoom.  www.AppleTutorial.com

I want to allow everyone to see the entire site, but I only want to allow Members to be able to play most of the videos.  I want to offer free trial videos in the video slider on the home page for anyone.

Can your software allow this, and how?

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Douglas,

You can use the s2Member Conditionals (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals and Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals) to control access to content based upon whether the visitor is logged in, showing a teaser with a signup button to non-members and the full content to members (see this thread for more info on teasers).

s2Member can also protect video files and limit the number of downloads per account, however if you want to control things like the length of time a non-member is allowed to view a video, that would need to be done with a plugin that plays the video itself — simply controlling access to the video file wouldn’t be enough.
