I am working on a wordpress based site at present and need a elegant way to secure my content. Now, I know I can just do dual installs of WP, one public with only preview content and one within a cgi secured directory with actual content but I am not in love with the functionality of this solution.

I found a plugin for WP called Magic Members. It looks great at first glance but upon deeper inspection, it only secures the text of a post or provides you a download link to secured content. Obviously I want to show image galleries and stream member videos as opposed to only offering downloads. So, first question: Is there a good way to secure this content?

I looked at locking the content through htaccess to prevent direct access or hotlinking but it seems that would block many legit members trying to view the content on the site (something about firewalls). Any thoughts?

Next question: If I want to use a CDN to deliver content such as images for members, is there a way to secure that?
