Good day. I have a question about the “Login” Extension, but I was unable to find a forum under Extensions where I could post my question, so I am posting here.

I just want to make sure I understand what the “Login” extension does. I know you have this extension for a directory that is private and only accessible for logged in users. The website I am using the Excerpts Plus template on is a membership site and already has a login. The membership plugin I use is called WPMU Membership Pro (https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/membership).

The page I have the directory on is a page only accessible by users who have a paid membership and log in, thus not accessible to the public unless the user is logged into the site. This being said, there would be no need to use your Login extension, correct?

@ Nick S

The Login extension was being requested by others that wanted a “Connections” solution. It wasn’t something I planned on, but I got enough requests for it so I took an afternoon and made one. Previous to it I would just point the users to the many freely available login plugins.

That said…

You already have a login solution via the membership plugin, so, no, you do not need the Login extension.

Hope that helps clear up why you would/wouldn’t want to use it.
