I’ve come across a few paid mentoring communities before, so I’ll be interested to see how this one works out. Let us know how you get on with the beta 🙂

As it states on the website:

Get Mentors On-Demand – Codementor connects you with experienced mentors for instant help via screen sharing, video, and text chat.

Solve Urgent Issues – Get instant help from experts for topics including Ruby, Python, PHP, JavaScript, CSS/HTML, iOS, and more.

Build Projects Faster – Codementor helps you overcome key challenges with timely advice and speeds up your development process.

Sure it’s not free, but it certainly solves some of the problems we have been talking about. I signed up for the Beta, and am looking forward to working with Mentors. Let me know what you guys think overall!

I’ll look at the registration one first. The buttons are still displaying as right now they’re just an HTML widget. I’ll see if I can get some conditional logic in there so that they only show if someone is not logged in.

I’ll investigate this plugin to do that http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

I can access my profile page but can’t comment on the topics you’ve put up.

It shows I’m logged in on the wordpress bar at the top, but isn’t showing me logged into ProgrammingMentors and no access to forums.
