My client is evaluating Simple:Press for her Association and members.

On the page where she wants the forum, she also wants four buttons which are also protected by membership (same membership levels in Simple:Press).

But with WP I can’t find a way to show the WP buttons once someone authenticates to S:P.  It appears I’d have to maintain two exactly identical User groups – one for WP to see the buttons once logged in to WP, and one to see the forum once authenticated with S:P.

Obviously, that’s not workable.

Is there a more elegant way to accomplish this?

I’m thinking I’d have to post a Welcome post in S:P which has the links to the buttons…but that seems clugey.
