In this tutorial you will give one member a posting limit of their own. You need WB Member Blog Pro, with Post Restrictions on and the Per-User Overrides switch turned on. It takes about two minutes. There are four steps. Turn on Per-User Overrides. Open the member's profile. Set their own limit. Then save the member.
Step one. Turn on Per-User Overrides. Go to WB Plugins, then Member Blog, then Restrictions. The switch is under Global Settings. It starts off on a new site. Switch it on, and click Save Settings. It is on here.
Step two. Open the member's profile. Go to Users, and click the member to edit them. Here it is Liam Walsh. Scroll down to Blog Posting Limits (Override). It only shows while the switch is on.
Step three. Set their own limit. There is a box for each period, from posts per hour to posts per year. Leave a box empty to keep the role's limit for that period. Enter zero for no limit. Liam has no limit per day, week or month, and his role's limit per hour and per year.
Step four. Save the member. Scroll to the foot of the page and click Update User. From then on, this member follows their own limit, and everyone else keeps the role's.
That is all four. Per-User Overrides on, the member's profile, their own limit, and saving the member. One member now has a limit of their own. Next in this series: Add custom fields to the writing form.
