I just updated Absolute Privacy to version 2.0, so it should be hitting your dashboard soon. It’s been nearly 9 months since my last official update of the plugin. This was a large update that added things like members only capabilities (protect a page and all subpages but allow everything else), shortcodes for profile editing and login forms (which need a lot more documentation still), better user authentication, better settings page, top-to-bottom code rewrite, and more!

For a full write up, see the official plugin page or just download it from WordPress.org

Update: The official version of the plugin is up to 2.0.4 (in under 24 hours of initial release), which fixed a fatal error that occurred on activation, a bug in which settings weren’t being transfered properly from v1.3, and a few other minor issues.

Hi John, great plugin. I recently upgraded through wp update to version 2. The upgrade didn’t go well and I had to rename the absolute privacy folder to gain access to the admin page. I tried doing a clean install and got an error related to line 49:

require_once( ABSPRIVACY_PATH . ‘/general-functions.php’ );

I had to rename to functions.php to get it to work.

require_once( ABSPRIVACY_PATH . ‘/functions.php’ );

Wow, that’s hat I get for coding at 3 in the morning. You are correct, I renamed that file. Uploaded the fix as 2.0.1. Thanks for the comment!

Hi John,

I set up a members only area with child pages. Is there a way to hide the child pages from the drop down navigation until a user is logged in?

Is there a way to have feedburner work with this plug in?

I am using Gravity Forms for the volunteers to register and the client is wanting to moderate the registration. I installed your plugin but it didn’t moderate the user’s registration. It sent e-mails but the user could immediately log in and the user was not listed in the users to be moderated. Any suggestions?

This seems a great plugin and I am wondering if there will be any release for the multisite WP soon or is it far off. I need something like this urgently on our private multisite install for one of the blogs.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards Carina

Hi John. You have potentially saved me so much effort. I have been struggling to find a way to make my new buddypress-enabled site protected for the group of members I have voluntarily created this for (I’m a newbie, not a programmer).

I am using WP3.3 and BP1.5.2 (or which is latest by the time you read this). Do you know if your plug-in is working properly with these installs? I have tried it and my first trial seemed to go well. But I am concerned about going live and new issues cropping up. Maybe you have some comment?

Thanks again!
