    Hi I am building a dealers only webshop. Therefor I need the shop to hide for ‘the public’.
    Dealers need to log-in before they can see the shop. For some reason the Member plug-in doesn’t seem to work on the shop. Every page I test works fine with “Members” but When I put restrictions on the shop page, the shop will just open like a normal page.
    I knew that the password protection doesn’t work on Woocommerce, but ant clue why this doesn’t work?

    HI, this is the answer I got fro Woocommerce:
    There isn’t a way to hide the shop. You could perhaps make the pages hard to find unless you are logged in though. This plugin may help: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/if-menu/

    I haven’t tried the plug-in yet, but it sounds like possible work-aroid for the time being…

    Hi

    With the same problem, I’m using Nav Menu Roles for menues, it’s a greate plugin , does’nt solve the /shop issue. You can get to it by a direct link :
    mydomain.com/shop , so it’s not a menu issue.

    Well I am gonna look into it later. From what I understood, completely hiding is not possible (although s2members seems to do the job, but i found it a terrible plug-in to work with). So i will use a menu solution and choose a not so obvious link for the shop. If you set the page to no index it also won’t show up in google.

    The /shop is a woocommerce generated page and anyway if someone saves a link and pass it to someone else it doesnt matter how complex it is , the fact remains that everyone can enter it. I’ve heard that s2members is not recommended so I didn’t use it in the first place.
    All my site is a noindex site. It is intended to be a private site like yours.
    Any other suggestions will be greate.

    I want to add that this is a reply I got from Woocommerce support on that matter:

    You need to see if your plugin can support post type archives. It’s not a real page.

    So – Is it ?

    No problem with this setup for me – it just works fine on my shop. Check if disabling all other plugins except for Members and WooCommerce helps. Also give it a try on a clean install.

    Hi Steven, thnx for the reply. So you used members to hide the woo commerce shop?
    Which steps did you take?

    I also can’t get this to work. I tried securing the Shop page to the Subscriber or Customer role but anonymous users can still view the shop.
