Restricted page still visible

Hi @pzeylstra

Could you switch to default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty Four and see if that issue persists?

If that does not help, you could try to use the code snippet below to protect the page and redirect unauthorized users to different page:

add_action( 'template_redirect', function () {
	// Redirect users from specific page
	// when user doesn't have particular role
	$user = wp_get_current_user();
	if ( is_page( 'your-page-slug' ) ) return;
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) return;
    if ( ! empty( $user ) && in_array( 'author', (array) $user->roles ) ) {
		$redirect = 'https://your-domain.com/wp-login.php'; // Change this to the correct URL
		wp_redirect( $redirect );
		exit;
	}
} );

I hope that helps.

I switched the theme and the restriction does work when I do. So it is the Bricks theme that is causing the issue. With your suggestion I now have 4 options as meanwhile Bricks has replied as following:

“The plugin works as expected, as it restricts the post_content (from Gutenberg). The Bricks content needs to be rendered separately and in a different way, and the plugin can’t know about that.

You have three possibilities to restrict the content or parts of the content (e.g. the calendar shortcode).

1) Wrap it with the [members_access] Shortcode: https://members-plugin.com/docs/shortcodes/

2) Add the content you want to restrict to Gutenberg and inside of the Bricks content, use the post content element to output the Gutenberg content (which will be restricted then).
3) Use the Bricks conditions instead of the plugin to restrict to specific user groups.”

I hope this also helps others who are struggling with this.

Thank you for you help!
