Only logged in Admin can access site

  • Have I miss-understood how this is supposed to work?

    I thought the coming soon page would only be shown to visitors who were not logged in.

    On my site all users are blocked unless they are logged in as administrator.

    I see there is a file /config/defaults.php that starts out

    <?php
return array (
  'status' =>
  array (
    'enabled' => 'yes',
  ),
  'access_control' =>
  array(
  	'role' =>
	array(
		'all' => false,
		'subscriber' => false,
     	'contributor' => false,
      	'author' => false,
      	'editor' => false,
     	'administrator' => true,
	),
	'page_access' => null,
  )

    Does this mean that only admins are supposed to be able to view the site?

    Hey,

    Yes, this is how it works, the description in the panel is imprecise and will be edited in the next release.

    Thanks for the answer, what can I edit to allow also editors or authors to be able to login and view the site. I need to do training and testing under these roles before the site launches.

    I tried changing the quoted code to author => true but it didn’t help. Looked through the code but couldn’t figure out what was restricting access to administrators.

    The option to select the roles that can access the actual website is available in the premium version of the plugin:)

    That answer was expected, but still disappointing. (and not funny) I’ve wasted too much time on this very simple plugin, all because of this statement in your FAQ:

    “Coming soon page is visible only to unlogged users, so that you can work on your website and show coming soon page to your visitors.”

    To me that was pretty clear that anyone able to login should be able to see the site.

    I’ve already installed the plugin and don’t want to waste any more time so I’m going to buy the upgrade, but don’t take that as an endorsement, it is not.

    Before I make my review I’ll watch to see how you change the description of the free version. It should be very clear the free version blocks EVERYONE but the admin from using the site.

    Hey,

    The new version with the corrected label is available. I hope that everything be perfectly clear from now on.
