I am not expert on users, simplest way as for me would be to store ID (or IDs) of user in custom field and check for it if user is not admin. Some example code (not tested): if(current_user_can(‘administrator’) || in_array(get_current_user_id(), get_post_meta(get_the_id(), ‘allowed_users’, true))) { the_content(); } else { echo ‘Post restricted’; }
Haven’t specifically done this yet but something similar In the theme page/post template files you can get post id of current post/page by doing $currentID = get_the_ID(); Then redirect all traffic not from the specified IPs $ipArr = array(‘xx.xxx.xxx.xxx’, ‘xx.xxx.xxx.xxx’); if (!in_array(@$_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’], $ipArr)) { header(“Location: http://example.com/myhomepage”); die(); }

In WordPress 3.5 there will be a new capability create_posts. You could create a new user role or change the role editor and remove that capability for this role.
