After researching a bit more, I may have a solution, and I’d love some feedback. Here’s my current plan…

1. Use a custom capability for each category of news we offer. There will probably be 10-15 of these.

2. Create a subscriber-level account for each user, and in the “custom capabilities” field, list the categories I want them to access. Some subscribers might have access to 1 category, and some might have access to 10?

3. When posting a new article, type the appropriate category in the “require custom capabilities” field. For example, an entertainment story would get the word “entertainment,” if that’s what I’ve called that category.

4. Edit functions.php to check for access to each of the 10-15 categories I create, as shown in one of your tutorial videos.

If this is on the right track, I think I’ll have solved my problem, assuming I can follow the instructions on editing the PHP, and assuming it’s not a problem to check for 10-15 different categories and give each user access to a unique combination of those categories, based on how they’ve paid.
