However, the page is still listed in the sidebar. It’s be great if the page wasn’t even listed in the sidebar unless they were logged in and of a certain level.

Nice plugin.

And this time, I don't even have anything to complain about ;). Anyway, I just wanted to bring a little bug (?) to your attention. In viewlevel2.php, function vl_restricted(), you're checking whether the viewlevel is above 0. But as the function is supposed to indicate all the posts that are only viewable by registered user (to my understanding), you have to check if the viewlevel is above -1, because when the viewlevel is set to zero for a post, only registered users can see it. So far, and thanks for all the fish :). Great plugin.</p> <p>my code excerpt: if($vl>-1) $result=$locked<em>text; else $result=$not</em>locked_text;</p> Hey alex, this is already the second plugin you wrote that I really like.

(or maybe highest. haven't quite thought about it)</p> It’ll be nice that in addition to setting default view levels, how about an option page to set a different default level for different categories, with the viewing level at the lowest default level for all the categories an entry is in.

Clicking through produces a 'no results' result. I'm interested in learning more about plug-ins with WP, so I'm poking around a little to see how to resolve it ... Anyone else notice the same behavior?</p> One thing I just noticed is that it will highlight the day in the calendar of a restricted post when viewed by a ‘non-authorized’ viewer.
