I'm just starting an alumni blog for my class. Is there a simple plugin that will require users to enter a name and email address before proceeding to the site content? Many of the plugins I've looked out are way too complicated for my needs. I don't need super heavy security or IP tracking or anything. I also don't want to set up an autoresponder or automatic newsletter. I just want to collect email addresses and names. Thanks for your help. |

There is the member access plugin that you can use to restrict pages so that only logged in members can see your pages. It requires people to make an account, but an account usually doesn't take much more than name and email. |

The wordpress system allows registration to your site as a feature. Using this in conjunction with a plugin will enable you to achieve the ability for them to see content that is private. An alternative is to request the email address in a pop up window that loads when users visit your site. The email addresses could simply go to a newsletter system (to store details) and the user would just continue to your site. In my opinion, an 'out of the box' member plugin would be faster to set up, and your site becomes scalable. You may wish to do more with your users at a later stage. |
