On the blog page when the “read more” link is clicked the reader is taken to the order now page, not the rest of the blog article. I have gone in and refreshed the <!–more–> code using both free typing and using the style editor but the same problem occurs no matter how the code is installed. The permalink on the blog page is correct. I have set up the blog both as a link to the category as well as its own page, but both ways when the “read more” link is click the reader is taken to http://www.opticiantrainingcom/order-now/blog post name. Interstingly, this only occurs for a reader who is not logged into wordpress. When I view the website logged in as an administrator it works as it should. The problem only happens when logged out as a normal website visitor.
Hi tomaltman,
Not sure what you mean, I wasn’t logged in but the link in the footer took me to the address in private. If you should keep having problems then provide us with a temporary admin login so that we can take a closer look. You can post the details in the Private Content section of your reply.

The issue occurs when you actually try to read one of the blog posts. Click on ANY of the blog posts on the blog page and it will take you to the order now page. It changes the link from the blog post permalink to what you see in the private section below, you will see it adds /order-now/ to the url. That /order-now/ part is not in the blog post permalink..
I currently have the blog posts set up as a menu page using your blog posts content element. But the same thing happens when I have the blog set up as a menu “category” and use the <!–more–> shortcode within the post. Clicking on the “read more” created by that shortcode in such a case also redirects to the /order-now/ url. This unwanted redirect to the order now page only happens for a logged-out user. When viewing the website from within wordpress, the blog works properly.
Thank you for your help,

The login credentials above are not working. Please check. This issue is probably cause by a third party plugin. Please try to deactivate all plugins then activate them one at a time to find the issue.
Cheers!
IsmaelThank you so much! I discovered the main problem but it created a new question. Wishlist member was the guilty plug-in. When it was deactivated the blog posts no longer redirected to the order now page. In my wishlist member plug-in dashboard, under “settings”, I found it is set to send non members who attempt to access “PROTECTED CONTENT” to the Order-Now page. So obviously wishlist member must think my blog posts are “protected content”. Upon seeing this, I assumed I must have accidentally set all of my blog posts to be “protected”, however, this is not the case. For each of my blog posts, the “No, do not protect this content (non-members can access it)” option is selected within the Wishlist Member box at the bottom of the “edit post” page.
So, if my blog posts are NOT set as protected, and Wishlist Member only sends visitors to the order now page for PROTECTED content, why would visitors be directed to the Order Now page when trying to read a NON PROTECTED blog post? I completely understand if this is a Wishlist Member issue to deal with, however these exact same settings worked fine for the blog on my previous theme making me think it may be something about the way Enfold and Wishlist Member communicate on this particular issue. Enfold overall is light years ahead of my previous theme, this is the only issue I have encountered.
Thank you
The problem has been solved. Deep within Wishist Member settings is a “Protect all content after the “more” tags:”. This setting had been set to yes. So although the posts were not “protected” content, anything after the “read more” tag was being considered by wishlist member to be protected and therefore sent visitors to the “order now” page.
Thank you so much for your help in directing me the checking the plug-ins.
Have a great day,
David
