To log everyone off you can just rename the SMF cookie under settings.

why dont you try using a portal mod and let SMF and the portal handle everything?

a) never used one
b) had some page construction ideas that i think only a wp builder can handle
c) didn't know a portal could be that versatile
d) all of the above


(it's answer d)

oh no....    as I said, my solution was to totally trash WordPress and use custom pages.   I tend to try to do EVERYTHING in an integrated script rather than try to jam two or more together.

Trying to get SSI and WordPress to run together is nearly impossible, unless you're a full-on developer.

Honestly, you said that you are only using WordPress as an article holder. That's a complete waste of resources and effort.

Use custom pages like I suggested -- or the custom pages mod -- or the articles mod -- or a portal mod

all of which will allow you to build and control access to pages within the SMF permissions system

I'm reading into that today.  Looking at the Advanced SSI page on SMF wiki.  I've got some pages that would just work better by NOT being in a forum post (gallery of youtube helpful vidoes, accordion boxes for contact info, etc).   I just need to learn more about doing that on my own and not with a builder.

What Kindred is saying is what I was suggesting too, in case that helps.
