Great course. Although I haven't been able to find what I feel is the missing chapter. I'm building a membership site for a small organization similar to a search and rescue. I'd like to maintain an area with content only available to logged in members. The memberships will always be free so I have no need for all of the paid membership features that most of the pro plugins have built in.
I'm thinking that I can use custom page templates to add logical code to a members-only page that will display the WordPress login form instead of the content to anyone who is not logged in. Are the any plugins or code samples out there that can shed some light on this functionality?
