Page restriction not working right

    Hi, I think I’ve encountered a bug.

    I’ve placed a restriction on a page. I’ve set the content to be accessible only by logged in users with the roles of Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, or Subscriber.

    This restriction works for me: I can’t see the content when logged out, but when logged in as Admin, I can see the content.
    However, logged in Subscribers cannot see the content.

    Subscribers to the website have started complaining only very recently, so I think the last WordPress upgrade might have had something to do with this, but I’m not sure.

    Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

  • Hi there,

    I have the same exact problem but i have not updated wordpress for almost a year at least… did you find some answer to this problem? thank you for your time. Maybe it is something very specific with the plug-in.

    Hi Pablo.

    As far as I know, the bug is still there. =(

    Initially, I had a page displaying the results of a poll, and my intent was that all logged in users could see them. As I started to get complaints from Subscribers that they were not able to see the results of the poll even when logged in, I ran some tests and found that only Subscribers were affected.
    Since only a few of my Subscribers were required to be able to see the results of the poll, I assigned them the role of Editor, and they were able to access the results of the poll.

    So I didn’t really solve the bug, but rather circumvented it.

    Hi there again,

    Yeah, i was thinking to give new users contributor permissions, which can be detected by Content Control restriction previously setup instance and additionally use Adminizer plug-in to hide some features but i really hate the extra hassle it brings, no way i am gonna give them Editor status though.

    Hello.
    It doesnt work when I make a restriction for multiple pages in one field.
    When I press to update the rule, then check it – and that field with specified pages is empty (in Content section).
    And one more.
    How can I rectrict access for all pages except one. If I create 2 rules (1st to restrict an access for all pages for not logged in users, and 2nd to give access for guests for 1 page), it doesnt work. Even if I change the order of them.
    Any suggestion?
