Re: Access restrictions don't work

I just want my home-page and a few others to be visible to the world and some other pages to be restricted to registered users. I found a similar solution as yours for a situation where there is only one restricted page. I pointed the 'Login Welcome Page' to the restricted page.
It appears as if the Extremely Easy Way as listed in the API/Scripting setting is not working, the less simple solutions are working fine. I can live with that but, being lazy like me, I prefer the most simple solution possible.

I had problems with my posts showing up on the homepage to the whole world too, if you are referring to that and it not blocking the archives from being seeing by everyone.
After much investigating through the settings, I ended up doing this:
I went to the wordpress settings and changed the homepage to point at my members option page or you can do a any page, I left the posts page settings blank- not pointing anywhere- that fixed the homepage showing all my posts (I also got thinking, and I guess you can use the snippets feature to show only a couple of lines if the post is long to block it).
Then I went to the settings under s2member, alternate views, and blocked the search engines, feeds, and all alternate views possible (this should probably be improved upon more to block just achieves or something and allow access to feeds via protected member passwords or something)- and that seemed to fix the feeds and achieves displaying the content to non-members.

Well, I only been messing with wordpress and plugins for a couple days now, before I had no experience at all- so take the advice as it is- Hopefully it will help.

thanks,

I found a workaround using the shortcodes. This is OK for what I need now. However I would still like to know how to use straight-forward page restrictions.

Access restrictions don't work

2010-10-29T15:09:05-05:00

Hi,

I'm probably doing something very stupid but I can not get page and post access restrictions working.
Today I made a fresh install of WP 3.0.1 and S2member 3.2.9.. Restricting pages or posts to Subscriber level 0 has no effect at all. The pages are visible to the world as before.
I did not test 'tag' or 'category' restrictions.

best regards,

Hans
