    Hi! On your support docs, you have a very short, but unclear description of what these General options do under the “Private Site” heading. Could you clarify what “Require authentication for access to the REST API” and “Show error message for feed items” actually do? Does that disable the REST API and RSS on the entire site? Just in the context of Members data?

    Link to your docs page: https://members-plugin.com/docs/private-site/

    Hi @blakmarkit

    When you enable the “Require authenticaton for access to the REST API” option you will not disable REST API, but any request to REST API will return an error if it is accessed by an unauthenticated user. We basically use rest_authentication_errors filter from WP. Here you can find more details about this hook.

    Enabling “Show error message for feed items” setting will block feed items on the entire site.

    Best
