VK Lock make is possible to restrict page\post access to authorized VKontakte group members only.
Plugin will take care about site visitor authorization in VKontakte and checking if he\she is member of VKontakte group specified by you.
Access to the protected page\post content will be allowed only if user is authorized and is a group member.
Restriction works for password protected pages\posts only - this means that your have to set page\post type to "password protected" and specify any password (plugin does not use this password, if you like you can access protected page with that password via conditional password access form, provided by Wordpress).
Plugin works via VKontakte API (
https://oauth.vk.com/authorize) therefore you need to make some proper (its very easy) settings at
VK.COM side. See Installation instructions.
This plugin may not work properly with PHP versions earlier than PHP 5.2
Plugin works via VKontakte API (
https://oauth.vk.com/authorize) therefore you need to make some proper (its very easy) settings at
VK.COM side:
- You need to have an active VKontakte account
- You have to create new "VKontakte application". Don't panic - "application" means only some settings on VK.com that enables integration between VK.com and your wordpress site (this plugin)
- Go to https://vk.com/editapp?act=create, and create new "VKontakte application" - set its type to 'Web-site' and specify address of your Wordpress site. Its wise to specify application Name, Description and Icon (better to match your wordpress site) - because this information will be presented by VK.COM to the user during authorization process. User will be asked if he\she trust this application to provide information about his\her name and VK groups he\she belongs to.
- Write down the following VK application params: ApplicationID (its a number), and SecureKey (its a set of letters like JKdasAKdaKLKsklsjndas)
- Go to Plugin settings at Wordpress admin console (Plugings -> VK Lock) and enter ApplicationID & SecureKey in proper fields
- Thats all - you may setup access for your posts\pages now
