    Hi

    I am using WP-Members plugin to restrict content for our members. We have an issue whereby, if we use the Blog Posts element, it breaks WP-Members and the page is made public, even though it is set to blocked. The same behaviour does not exist when using the Magazine element to display blog entries and I have had no other issues like this with other elements.

    I was previously asked to try disabling other plugins and did this (Except of course for WP-Members) and this did not make any difference. Can you please take a look at this. I have included details of the page and a login, as I suspect you will need this to investigate.

    To test this –
    1) Go to the page below… When not logged in, you will see it.
    2) Log in and remove the blog posts element.
    3) Log out again and go to the page – now it is correctly blocked.

    Thank you

    Colin

    Hi!

    Posting a post, does bring it down to the line, so better to leave it until we do touch it! :-)

    Yes, I can see the issue.
    Can you please also contact the WP-Members support team and let us know what they think?

    Thanks a lot

    Cheers!

    Hi

    WP-Members support is behind a paywall and I would prefer not to have to spend 60 bones on it without any evidence that the issue is on their side. I expect they will just send me back to you, because if you look at the following points, it would appear its something in the theme:

    1) WP-Members (including blog posts) restriction works outside of the theme
    2) The issue is only evident when using one element to display blog posts… using the magazine element instead, but with the same scope, does not give the same issue
    3) All other content is properly restricted
    4) If I display a blog category that has no content in it, the WP-Members restriction remains in place.
    5) If I use the post slider element, which also displays the same content but in a slider, it also works. I have updated my page with this for now as a workaround and may stick with it as it works pretty well… but would still like to fix the blog posts element issue.

    With this in mind, can you please do some more investigation and perhaps see if you can spot the difference between the code used to display posts in the magazine element vs the blog post element?

    Thanks

    Colin

    Hi!

    I added a blog post element to the page (http://newsite.redhill-archers.org.uk/wordpress/index.php/members-home-2/), check the page again on another browser and the page is still blocked. Did you fix this?

    NOTE: I set the blog style to grid. Maybe that’s the difference?

    Regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael

    I think you just inadvertently narrowed down the issue – you are right, if you set grid layout it works, but if you change it to single author, it breaks. With that in mind, I can work around it, but any ideas on the cause?

    Thanks

    Hey!

    glad that there is a workaround. Not sure what it’s causing this. Did you reach out for support of plugin’s author?

    Best regards,
    Andy
