Quick getting started guide:
- let’s consider that ‘alice’ is a registered user (subscriber) on your WordPress site and she should get access to the content of the directory ’/site/user-content/alice/’. In the directory there is a file ‘index.html’ that should be presented first to alice.
- go to Admin Panel=>Users=>alice
- scroll down the user profile page and locate the ‘eView Plugin Attributes’ section
- in the field ‘eView Show Path’ add ’/site/user-content/alice/’
- in the field ‘eView Show Index’ add ‘index.html’
- save the user profile
- when alice logs in, she can access Admin Panel=>eView=>Show to view the content of ‘index.html’ file from directory ’/site/user-content/alice/’
