Ok, this is HUGE!
I mean “Knock your socks off”, “Blow your mind”, “WTF??” huge
I know it doesn’t really matter what “WE” (the developers) think. But you’ll see why I am so excited!
We have just completed two new WordPress plugins for DAP.
1. DAP WP LiveLinks:
Once you install this plugin, when someone visits your blog, they will ONLY see posts that they are “eligible” to view. This applies to your blog’s main page as well.
So, if a casual visitor arrives at your blog, they only see titles and their summaries for posts that have NOT been protected (not added to DAP at all).
For instance, if you have 100 posts, and have protected 95 of them, then on your blog’s home page, this visitor will see only 5 blog posts – titles and summaries – in TOTAL.
They won’t even see the titles or bodies of the protected posts. And if they somehow get the link to it (from someone else, by email, say) and try to visit it, then the already existing DAP protection kicks in, and they’re asked to login first to determine if they have access to that post as of “now”.
But once this same visitor logs in, all blog posts that were HIDDEN earlier MAGICALLY re-appear
And they see all posts that they are CURRENTLY eligible to access (this excludes posts to which access already expired, and posts to which they don’t have access YET – i.e., future availability).
2. DAP WP Personalization Plugin:
This plugin lets you put the Dap Login Form on any blog “Page”. No longer have to send people to www.YourSite.com/dap/ to login.
Simply create a WordPress “Page” with the text %%LOGIN_FORM%% in the body, and when someone visits
the page, the login form automatically shows in it’s place.
This plugin also lets you PERSONALIZE blog post titles and body with MERGE variables. So, if you create a blog post with the title “Welcome %%FIRST_NAME%%“, then when your member logs in, they will see “Welcome John“.
And this is just the TIP of DAP Version 2.0 that’s coming in just a few days!
So stay tuned for v2.0 and other breaking news.

P.S.
I know that’s a lot of exclamation points, but I couldn’t help it.
Hi Ravi,
Great work dude! You are taking DAP to the next level. I think you want to beat all your competitors…really cool.
PV,
Thanks. We certainly want to do that, of course!
And it’s not just me, you know.
It’s ALL (2) of us here (me and Srini “da man” Abbaraju

These look awesome, can’t wait to launch a membership site using DAP and these plugins!
Is there an anticipated release date for this new wordpress plugin or new version of dap?
Michael,
We were planning to release it last week, but we felt we needed to do more testing and not rush the release.
We are 99.99% done. We should be releasing it 100% the week of Feb 23rd. Hopefully, we can do it on Monday (23rd).
We’re really excited about the plugins. So stay tuned.
Hi Ravi- Sounds great. I’m assuming that DAP also works with static html pages in addition to wordpress platform as I plan to use it on both. The WP stuff sounds really cool, way better, I believe, than amember with incremental plugin bridge. Looking forward.
Lisa,
Yes, DAP will absolutely protect static HTML pages, images, .js, .pdf, .zip, etc (but not .php pages – yet!).
I am hoping you will use DAP, get things done, make money, and tell us about your success story
