Ultimate Member – How to restrict access to pages for certain userroles?

Hi @farbvogel

Have you tried changing the selected option in “Global Site Access” settings to “Site accessible by logged in users”?

Please go to WP Admin > Ultimate Member > Settings > Access > Restriction Content.

Hi Champ Camba,

yeah I’ve done that. I’ve done pretty much everything that is to do with the plugin to enable it. I think the problem is the sitebuilder I use -> Yoothemes.

It’s overriding the plugin(s). Do you have a simple JS-Code perhaps, which simply states that a page shouldnt be displayed, if a certain user is logged in?

Hi @farbvogel

Have you tried using the Content Restriction shortcode?

I am experiencing the same issue I think.

What we’re expecting:
– We have three generic pages that should be publically accessible.
– Then we have a custom content type (created by pods): this content should be only accessible to logged-in users of a certain role.

I have tried:
1. Using the shortcode restrict method (the post type is set to “restrict” in the UM settings). However, I believe as we’re using elementor, there might be incompatibilities as the shortcode simple outputs on the frontend.
2. I have tried to restrict the individual items in the post type, setting it as only accessible to the logged-in user of the specific type. Again, all content was accessible on the frontend.
3. I have set the entire site to be restricted and then simply excluding some URLS. This time I noticed some results, however not on the pages or types I wanted to exclude or restrict. There were some links to non-https versions of pages and these redirected to the login, where as the correct https versions of the post items were still accessible.

This makes me wonder wether it could be something with the plugin have been installed initially on http version of the site and then moved to https?

Best,
F.

I experienced something worse, I just installed Ultimate member, everything is still default, including the register user role in the default position … but the one who succeeded in registering instead became an Administrator right away … How about this? I can’t use this plugin, if everyone who registers will automatically become an admin … please Help for solution my problem!

I have installed the ultimate member plugin on my client’s site and now I can’t access the dashboard.

I have the same issue. I want certain pages to be accessible only to a given role while the rest of the site is public. For instance I want Role A to access page A1 and A2 (in addition to the public site of course). I want Role B to access page B1 and B2 but not A1 or A2. Of course Role B should also have access to the public pages.

Last I want to configure media files to be restricted when linked on the page. For example I may have a link to a PDF on page A1. I cannot use short codes because that does not prevent access to that file if someone has a link to the file.
