Blocked pages allowing views without login

  • I have 4 blocked pages. 2 allow the page to be viewed without requiring login but the other 2 do require login. For the 2 malfunctioning pages, both have the checkbox checked beside block on the edit page and they both have “Yes” listed under the Block column on the page list. I tried deactivating the plugin and then reactivating but that didn’t work. Then, I deleted the plugin all together and reinstalled it but, after reinstall, the block settings were preserved just as they were. However, the pages still had the same behavior. How do I fix this? I imagine there’s a table in the database for this plugin but I don’t know its name and I’m not sure what would happen if I deleted the plugin again and then also deleted the table before reinstalling the plugin…I assume that would allow a fresh install and not preserve the block settings through a delete & reinstall. Would that work? If so, what’s the name of the table?

    It’s important to emphasize the plugin’s default behavior is to block what WP serves in the main content variable. If you use some type of page builder plugin (or if one is built into your theme), these generally save content as post meta fields, so the plugin does not recognize that by default.

    Also, if you are viewing an archive (such as post categories, or a blog page) and are not using excerpts, you’ll be displaying full content.

    Is there some way for me to get the plugin to recognize that? My users are not tech savvy and they need to use the page builder sometimes. But they also need the ability to block pages. I’m familiar with php so is there some alteration I can make to the code?

    P.S. the page builder plugin used is Page Builder by SiteOrigin.

    Also i have the same probem. Blocked pages are visible for looged off users.
