## Description

**Simple Member Protection** allows site admins to restrict access to certain content
based on user login status or assigned membership levels. Protect parts of your 
post/page content with a simple shortcode or assign membership levels through the
admin interface.

Features include:
 – Protect content with shortcodes for logged-in users only. –
Manage members and define membership levels. – Assign membership level requirements
to posts and pages. – Import/export member data. – Lightweight and easy to configure.

### Usage

Wrap content with `[protected_content]...[/protected_content]` to restrict it to
logged-in users.

To restrict content by membership level:
 1. Edit a post or page. 2. Use the “Membership
Protection” meta box to select the required level.

### Shortcodes

    ```
    [protected_content]Your protected content here[/protected_content]  
    ```

– Restricts the content to **logged-in users**.

    ```
    [protected_content level="gold"]Your gold members-only content here[/protected_content]  
    ```

– Restricts the content to users with a specific membership level (e.g., “gold”).

If a user is not logged in or does not meet the membership level requirement, a 
login prompt is displayed.
