So I'm making this website in which people(authors) have their profiles and can upload their art works.
I'm using ultimate member plugin and I cannot understand how the author will make posts and post them on their accounts? I mean their is no option to create posts! and the plugin documentation is not helping I have already followed it but there is still no option/button for the authors to make and publish posts.
+new exists on the admin bar. from there you can add media or text!

I need to create a WP site which will have a single membership. Each member will have its own page where the posts added by that user will be displayed. I know Wordpress comes with the default author and posts, but it does allow only premium members to add posts and paid registration/profile. Shall I develop a custom one or there is any available plugin. I tried, but did not find any similar to my requirement.
Any suggestion and help will be much appreciated...thanks a lot.
There is a very flexible plugin that allows you to create/configure members stuff Ultimate Member.
Check How to customize member templates, Code Examples, and other documentation.
I am using buddypress for my website. I am searching for a plugin which allows members to post articles, stories and poems. It is good if the member can upload documents with it. I have searched a lot but couldn't find suitable one which works with buddypress. Any suggestions?
Have you tried Front-end Editor by Scribu:

You could set up custom post types for articles, stories and poems:

I'm building a WP site and at one specific page i want to have a custom field in wich the user can select from existing content to be linked there. (english is not my native lang :)
In my case:
I have a services page where the admin can add new services.
I have a doctors page where the admin can add new doctors.
I want to have the option to link one doctor to one specific service.
Can this be done?
As other said, Advanced Custom Field is the answer to your and most needs regarding the data hierarchy management in wordpress.
In addiction I suggest to you to read this good tutorial about the use of Types, another good plugin that does the same work of ACF.
Considere moreover that both plugins ask money if you want more functionalities.
Here is the plugin url : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/ that makes relationship between custom filed. It will you.
I wish to build a "lecture notes" website using wordpress. And would love for any advice on what plugins to use, other considerations to have or website that perform a similar task with WP.
The website should have a form that will allow users to upload their lecture files. The results should be a new "post". When submitting the form, the users should be able to tag their subject matter so to allow others to search it.
I would search for a "Members" type plugin, that lets you really fine-tune the roles and capabilities of each user type. Then you can let your users sign up as "contributor" or other lower level, and then use the Posts as your notes pages. Each post would have the ability to upload a file (not sure what formats are accepted, you might need a doc/pdf type plugin for that). You could also narrow it down by pre-specifying categories. Then you could use the comments as a discussion forum for each "lecture". Depending on the depth of customization you wanted, this could be fairly easy, or extremely complicated. ;)
If the WordPress site is on wordpress.com, then you can set the site so that you can publish via email. You might create a separate category for each person that is going to post to the site. There are "shortcodes" (see WordPress Support page "post-by-email" below for a list) which can be added to each email that will direct that post to one or more categories [one category might distinguish the poster, while other categories might group postings by topics, etc.]. Another shortcode can make the posting a "draft" or "private", while I think the default is to make the posting live immediately. *If you post by email, then all posters do not have to have Admin access to the site, they just have to have the unique WP site email posting address. *If you want to try the "Audio Post" feature (call from any phone and enter unique WP site key code), I don't think there is a way for the caller to direct the audio posts to a category via the call. An admin would have to add the category to any audio posts later. **All WP site "categories" automatically have an RSS feed created for them, so each of your posters would have their own chronological list of postings.

Can anyone recommend me a good members-only plugin? I want to hide pages (and their tabs) if users aren't signed in.
So far I have found:
'Member Access' which doesn't hide the tabs
'wp-members' which wouldn't work with 2.8.4
'user access manager' which was too complex clunky to be useful.
There should be something basic out there for what I need, but no luck so far.
Justin Tadlock is a WordPress heavy (wrote the popular Hybrid theme framework), recently released a comprehensive user management plugin called Members, which among other things can turn your blog into a login-only venue:
Private Blog: Allows you to create a
private blog that can only be accessed
by users that are logged in (redirects
them to the login page).
But I get the impression that you're looking to keep some part available to the public users and other parts only for registered users.
You can also use this plugin to restrict certain areas of your blog, screenshot example here: based on role
Hiding the tabs from the public user is the challenging part. Themes typically aren't designed with private portions in mind; you'd have to hack it yourself or get someone to do it for you.
If are familiar with php and WP structure, you can add a few lines of code to a few template files to redirect users to login page if they are not signed-in. Let me know if you want to go that way. I can try to provide sample code. Are you using one of the basic themes?
I have a plugin called "LJ Custom Menu Links" that can do what you are asking. However as the name suggests they are custom links, so you would have to hand add the pages you want. But it does/and can only show a link when a user is logged on if that is what you want. Combined with "pagemash" plugin which will hide pages from the menu generated by WP itself leaving only the pages linked to by the LJ Custom Menu Links plugin.
However I was under the impression if you made a Page private then it wouldn't show up unless someone was logged in, or am I wrong on that one?
A good option is to use three difference plugins:
Member Access
Register Plus
AJAX Login Widget++
You can find my post on all these here:
http://sbhosting.com/wordpress-member-area/
Try CMS Members
I know it hide some pages for non-members.
A paid option is this. It's VERY good. I use it on several websites. Called Wishlist Memeber
For me s2member does the job. You don't have to use the paypal option, you can stick with free membership.
