Basic question on how it works

    Hello,
    I just installed WP-Members and I was kind of surprised to see it working so seamlessly…!
    I have another plugin that requires registration for certain features (lifterLMS), and a specific page that was supposed to require user login, was instead publicly available.
    That page is the reason why I decided to install WP-Members, in order to force visitor to register and login to see it.
    Now, right after installing WP-Members, I went to settings and selected to block content for pages only.
    Then I expected to be able to specify which pages I want to block, but found no place to specify that… nevertheless the right page got blocked behind a login form.
    This is what I wanted, but it happened out of my control, so now I am not sure if and how to control exactly what pages to block…
    I couldn’t find any hint in the online doc, could you please help?
    I need to understand hw to specify and control precisely which page (or post) to block.
    Thanks in advance for your attention,
    CR
    Cristiano.

    Hi Cristiano,

    For direct setting of a page (or post) to be blocked or unblocked, there is a setting in the post editor. The setting will be the opposite of whatever you have selected as the default for that post type in the plugin’s main options tab. So if you have selected pages to be blocked by default, this setting would allow you to unblock a page. In your case, since you just want to block a single page, you should set the default setting to not block pages; then you will be able to set that single page to be blocked.

    For more information on this, see the following page in the documentation under the heading “Override the Default Setting for Posts”:

    Hope that helps.

    I see.
    So the plugin sets the default for all pages(posts), and then individually I can override that default inside the page(post) editor.
    That makes sense.
    Thanks a lot!

    No problem!
