I have working on wordpress based website, where I want to keep certain sections (pages/posts) open to all kind of users (free+paid), while some sections available to only those users who have paid. Is there any plugin available or do I need to work on code part. How can I do this. Thanks
The reason you've been given a -2 on your question is that this is not a programming question.
You need a paid service for that kind of functionality or program that out from scratch by yourself. There are plenty of plugins that do that for you. Or perhaps your can find some "free" plugin to do that (Not recommended).
I've used wishlist before and it works great. Lots of setting to deal with though.

I´m currently developing the Intranet for the company I am working for. The site is currently based on SharePoint, but I have to migrate it to Wordpress. And that´s my first developer experience with Wordpress, you just should know. Creating the theme, content and working with the WP Admin area works very well, but where I´m feeling defenseless is the permissions topic.
Generally, the whole page content is managed by the Marketing department. So, for me it is ok that they have access to WP Admin and I would use one of the predefined roles available.
But there will be also an area for the departments where specified users per department should be able to
edit the pre created page content
add subpages and edit its content (it would be nice if it can be defined which page templates can be selected by the user)
add posts for a pre created category (that should not be changeable by the user)
edit its profile and password
A whole access to WP Admin should be therefore prevented.
I read much information about roles, capabilities and reviewed forums and blogs presenting potential plugins. But to be honest, I´ve lost the overview and I´m totally scared about what´s the right way to do such like this the professional way.
Is there anybody who was already in such a situation or knows a good resource where to read more?
Thanks a lot.

PressPermit is the tool I choosed. It covers all needs described in my question.
Note: To use all features, you need to buy a support subscription currently available for $55 a year for one site.
However, a very powerful tool and in comparison to Advanced Access Manager I tried before, it really supports permissions also for multiple roles.
If you are thinking about, use the screencasts to see if the tool cover your needs. Unfortunately, there is no trial available, but you can request an evolution wordpress installation which was setup within one day in my case. This service costs $5.
We are planning to create an asp.net website (probably mvc), that needs a cms for news items.
Our content managers and others who require to publish news have asked if they can use wordpress for content management.
Our users have different roles, and news items should be visible to certain roles, or even specific users if possible.
The reason they want wordpress is the manager's user friendliness, so if some other alternative with the same kind of user experience would be ok.
Could anyone please point me in some direction?
NOTE: I'm still doing research at the moment, so I've got nothing holding me back at this point.
There is an API plugin that has been developed to spit out information in JSON, but I have not actually implemented a site with it:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/
Perhaps you could have the authors work on a wordpress install and create your app to draw content via that plugin?
I too was facing the same issue, little different. We want to have WP as CMS so that our site can take the benefit of SEO which is very easy with WP. SO we installed WP under a folder in the Main ASP.net based website. Initially there were issues, I was unable to run it. Finally managed to run it. Solution is posted here - http://www.wwwlabz.com/how-to-run-a-php-based-website-from-a-subfolder-in-asp-net-website. Hope it will help someone. Actual site where we implemented this is http://www.periproperties.com/content/.
Now I want to have specific section of WP to be accessible on my site. SO I am exploring different options and will post, if found something
Thanks.
DotNetNuke is the most popular ASP.NET based CMS (source). I am implementing my first project in it and so far I am very happy with it.
Note the free edition will not work for you since you need customizable security roles and free has a limited set of predetermined roles. You'll need the pro edition.
I don't know how similar it is to WordPress. Overall, WordPress is much more popular but of course there are platform issues with WordPress since it is Apache based and you want to create an ASP.NET website.
I am developing a website on the WordPress platform and this is my first time using WordPress.
WordPress offers an estimate of 20% of the entire project scope, this means I have to write code for the remaining 80%
My question is how do I extend the WordPress platform to provide the functionality I require?
Thanks for your responses in advance
Pls remember am a newbie! will appreciate clear and detailed responses
Thanks
It really depends on what you're attempting to achieve, but a good first port of call would be to immerse yourself the details in plug-ins (specifically the "Writing a Plugin" section) and the Plugin API, as this is the easiest way to extend WordPress using the wide variety of hooks that the API provides.
However, it's also quite likely that at least some of the functionality you require has already be created as a 3rd party plug-in, so I thorough check of the currently available plug-ins would most likely pay dividends.
Wordpress has support for plug-ins. Additionally, it's all PHP scripts, so you can modify the core system as needed; however I would highly recommend that you only use plug-ins to extend functionality, as by changing the core system you won't be able to apply security updates.
For more information on plug-ins, read the Wordpress codex, which also contains detailed documentation on all functions available.
In addition to Plugins, which other users have already mentioned as a way to extend Wordpress functionality, you should read about the concept of Child Themes.
Themes in general make up the appearance and some functionality of your Wordpress site. For making your own theme, which you will be doing, it is a good idea to start off with an existing theme and build upon it. The standard Wordpress theme Twentyten is a great starting point, where many issues have already been taken care of.
The changes you add can be pure CSS restyling or much more complex additions.
I'm an administrator of 10-20 separate WordPress blogs, and it's a big pain for me to login to all of them separately. Is there some sort of interface that allows me to do a single-sign-on administration of all of them, like there is under a WordPress MU umbrella?
If so, what's it called? I don't even know the term I'd use to search for this.
I've yet to try it, but Virtual Multiblog might solve your problem.
Or, try the search term:
wordpress + multi blog
Google tends to vary results depending on your country of origin, so I'm not sure that what I found is what you'd find.
If it's just managing posts & pages and a few other items, a blogging client might be the way to go. WordPress provides a good starter list of programs - http://codex.wordpress.org/Weblog_Client
I've heard a lot of good things about http://managewp.com/
However I believe WordPress is implementing some sort of multi-blog support system in the next version release, so you may want to wait until that drops before laying out some cash for a service like ManageWP.
I'm looking for a wordpress-like blog interface to put inside a Joomla hosted site. The admin interface of Joomla is quirky enough and hard enough to use that daily updates are infeasible.
What I am looking for is an easy-to-use posting interface that supports multiple users with different accounts/names, a tagging scheme, and easy find by date/user/tag functionality.
In particular I'm looking for a relatively easy-to-deploy, out-of-the-box solution, and would prefer not to hack rss feeds together or write too much custom code. I know there are several extensions out there but they all receive largely mixed reviews... Has anyone used any of these? Or has anyone had experience putting something like this together?
Well you could do this - have a wordpress installation. Get the users to post there and then use the RSS feed from it (or the XML RPC Blogging API) to update the Joomla installation. You will have to write the update piece once, but then all the headache is gone.
I'm not trying to be smart here, but if the admin interface of Joomla isn't working for you, aren't you doing yourself a disservice by trying to patch their UI instead of spending your time looking for a CMS that is easier to manage/a better fit for your user base?
Edit: All of the CMS's I've dealt with in ASP.NET are homegrown. However I'm looking into checking out Umbraco based on the recommendations of two well-respected friends. In the case you presented where you already have content in Joomla and a migration out to another CMS is going to be overkill, I think that vaibhav has got it right. You should look into setting up Wordpress or some other blogging engine and then simply have Joomla consume the content and display it in the Joomla site. I've not done it, but from what I remember of Joomla when I was looking at it, I believe that it would support this.
After doing a bit more research I decided to go with the open source MojoBlog. It was quite easy to install and configure and after a few stalls and hang ups that were resolved via perusal of their forums I was up and running. The edit interface is not ideal but it much better than Joomla admin, and it has multi-user-support, tag categorization, modules for viewing by tag, date, etc. Think it will suffice for my needs in the short term.
