Seems like a no brainer, but an Admin (me as I own the site) should be able to read their own material. I have no way to view any articles I assign to a locker and no way to assign myself (or anyone I chose) a subscription without payment!
Hello @foreclosurepedia!
Administrators can see the posts without paying, but not without subscription, please check this video: https://www.screencast.com/t/69v8X2Hy1
Thank you!
Still doesn’t solve the problem that I cannot change the end date or manually enter a subscription. I understand this is the first iteration and my hat is off to you folks, but I do have some concerns. For example, I do not deal with any bank deposits and only with Paypal. So, there seems to be no work around on that side. I had to pay for a month and now I cannot set the End Date to whenever I want so it is rather useless to me. At minimum, credentials should be parsed to make Admins capable of viewing their own material as they are Admins. I am also curious what Role is being assigned to the new user and whether or not they are added as a User in the WordPress itself?
Hello @foreclosurepedia!
Ok, I understand what you mean now.
When a user registers on your website in order to make a subscription, then he will have an account on your website with the subscriber user role.
We will take in consideration your query and I will add this feature on our improvement list.
Thank you for the request and proposal!
That is part of it. There are some conditional logic items to note, though. First, as Admin I shouldn’t have to do the crazy work around to view my own articles. Second, if I pay for a subscription does that automatically allow me access to the Free level articles or not? And finally, there should be the ability to simply add people, culled from the WordPress User side (or manually create a User) with a Subscription account for either Free or Paid and the ability to change the End Date of that subscription.
Thanks for considering as I believe this is a GREAT project and am looking forward to using it in the future!
I should note that when I go to the WordPress User area in the Profiles, there is no Role assignment for Admin. There is an Additional Capabilities at the bottom, though, which lists out some permissions. Not sure why, but it may end up being a problem in the future.
Hi foreclosurepedia,
Indeed, for the moment when a post has the post content locked, this is locked for all roles, but like you say it should by some admin-subscriber role to see at least your own articles.
If a user pay for a subscription then this will have access to the free level, here is an example -> https://i.imgur.com/8Ky2XoR.png
About adding manually users to the subscription, we didn’t think to this, but it is a good suggestion.
All those suggestions were added on our list.
About the role in user area, I think that you are referring to this one https://i.imgur.com/UaLORCs.png here is an explain of this role -> https://pagely.com/blog/wordpress-roles-capabilities/ -> https://i.imgur.com/UzGsung.png
Thank you!
