Basically, it will redirect users to their sign-in named page (if they're signed in) and if they're not signed in, it will tell them they need to sign in. This allows us to set one redirect using the redirect plug-in. Send all users to your clients page, and then the page determines where they really should be. (Their own personal page.)

Any page that you make a child of that page (once again, through WordPress) does not have any name restrictions. So your client can gain access to their named page, and any page that becomes a child of it because we've specified they can gain access to pages that are either of their name, or a child of their sign-in name. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you need any assistance. I'd be happy to make this all more clear.

I have been keeping track of client projects through updates to their private pages. From the initial deposit (Paid through a shopping cart plug-in) to marking it paid and sharing comps and links to the testing server, right on up to the final. I hope you found this post helpful.

Could you please explain how that works a little better. Thank you again for this aid.

Is this coding necessary as I am putting my portal together as well and want to makes sure I have all the parts? Thank you again for this write-up, I couldn't find anything like it elsewhere!
