Not logged-in users can access the profile page.

  • Hi,
    I’m using WP-Members 3.1.3.1.
    I created a profile page with the shortcode, [wpmem_form user_edit].
    Not logged-in users can access the profile page and see not a login form, but a profile form.
    Although I check the “Block this page” in the page restriction area of the post metabox, the profile page is not restricted.
    Please check this out.
    Thanks.

    A profile page should be created using [wpmem_profile]

    The shortcode you are using is actually only one part of the profile process. It is a shortcode intended for people who need more specific control and/or are building more complex profiles or dashboards. It’s also not intended to be used alone – it should be used along with [wpmem_logged_in]

    Please see the documentation on this (and other) shortocodes here:

    Thanks, Chad.
    I’ll check the shortcodes documentation.
    Why doesn’t “Block the page” work?

    Hi, Chad.
    I found that Blocking the page does not work on the page selected as “User Profile Page”.
    Please check this out.
    Thanks.

    The [wpmem_profile] shortcode has it’s own internal process for handling the logged in and logged out state. So there is no need to block it. If it was blocked, then the processes that it handles when a user is logged out would not work (forgot password reset, forgot username).

    When logged out, the shortcode allows the user to login, register, reset forgotten password, and retrieve a forgotten email. When logged in, a user can update their registration information or change their password.

    The registration form shows by default in the logged out state, but this can be turned off with [wpmem_profile register=hide]
