Private pages are in the menu because my client wants to show to visitors the titles of what is reserved to subscribers, sort of “see what you can get once registered”…and frankly it does make a lot of sense. The problem is that unlike a lot of CMS do (Modx is a typical example), WP does not distinguish between failed search or other server’s error and unauthorized access, it just redirects all of them to error404 page. Normally I would create a script that checks if the user is logged in and allows or denies access redirecting to a custom landing page and I would place the script inside the template which I associate private pages to. Problem is that Enfold template is so different from the default wp template and I don’t know where to place it.

BTW wp has always had bugs and weird behaviors when it comes to pubblic and private content. For instance the fact that we cannot assign a subpage to a parent private page (private pages do not appear in the list) is akward. I had to create a script to obtain what other cms regularly do even for draft pages.

Sorry about that…. now you got the admin role.

Thanks Rikard, that helped a bit but I also realized that I was expecting something that could not happen with the layout configuration I chosed. So I switched to a boxed layout having the upper part appear full screen by adding a html background repeated-x gif. This way the menu stays aligned with the slider at least on the left corner and even if it does not shrink it keeps the layout integrity.

Hi Yigit, Thank you for having mentioned the header, because after a css troubleshooting search I found out that I erroneously switched the div header to position: static and that was causing all the menu problems. I was trying to have the header in the layout flow and I thought that that was the way…. I didn’r realize that in the options there was a proper checkbox for the sticky header. Now every thing is back the way it should.

best regards

SOLVED…… it was in the Tutorials. I managed to modify the absolute link in my child theme functions.php into a relative one so it will be easier when moving the site to the final server.
