does anyone have any experience with wordpress?

If so do you know if it is possible to allow users to log in with a user name and password which will let them see a page that is individual to them?

I Currently use the password feature that's in the latest version but was wondering if there was a more elegant solution

It helps if you tell us whjat your trying to achieve. (what is the end result)?

sorry, i want to allow clients to view theyre samples on my website after navigating to the client login section of the site, ideally i wanted something that would log them in and provide them with an individual page only they can see, i have set something up through the password protect page feature which is okay for now but wanted to put something a little less rudimentary in there

It can be done primarily through wordpress, I gather that your not going to have hundreds of clients accessing multiple pages on multiple directories through your server, the solution is to create the necessary pages within wordpress using either the default page creation or by creating your own template "pages". Then search on wordpress plugins directory for a plugin called peters login redirect. This enables you define users and redirect to certain pages dependant upon their login credentials. ie user one = page one, user 2 = page 2 etc.
To make it obviously fit in with your site search wp plugins directory for a login box if you don't already have one and integrate this into your site via the sidebar widget option.

WOW the login redirect works fantastic....ive been looking for something like that for a while....can you protect the pages you direct them to...or do you just make them private...

private pages should be only accessible to you the admin user. for the protection of other pages seach in wordpress plugins for a plugin called user access manager. and follow its instructions

thanks for that, i think ive also added another password layer thanks to my hosting site could someone try it out just to make sure its working externally?

you should be presented with a box asking for a user name and password, they should both be tester, if it works you should be presented with a picture.

thanks in advanced

works fine.......sorted, using the .htaccess is one way of doing it I guess.

thanks, combined with the current system i have this is a more serviceable option then what i did have and will allow me time too look into and have a play with the items you suggested, thanks for your help
