Manually Approve Members + Protect Images

[rdkcreative]

Hello! I just installed the program and I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone has the answer to.

I'm offering a free membership but I want to manually approve members who register. Is there a way to do this?

I also want to protect certain images on the site. Would I accomplish this by the URI Access Restrictions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Not exactly. However, with s2Member v3.0.6+, you can turn on Open Registration, where new Members will be registered initially with a Level #0 ( as a Free Subscriber ). So you can then review Free Subscribers manually, and upgrade them to Level #1 as you see fit.

I also want to protect certain images on the site. Would I accomplish this by the URI Access Restrictions?

No. Protected files should all go inside the /plugins/s2member-files/ directory. You'll need to configure s2Member's download options. See: `WordPress Dashboard -> s2Member -> Download Options`.
