User account roles

  • Hello, I am currently playing around with the membership roles and settings on our test site.

    The idea I want to achieve:

    Within our navigation, we have 5 pages under ‘Sub-group’, basically, I want to block access to these pages if the user is not a ‘Subscriber’, as well as if you’re average user browsing the site that’s not signed in.

    ————-
    Now, I have set up a new membership called ‘Sub-group – member’ with the role of ‘subscriber’, I have created a wp-member user account with the role of ‘subscriber’ and set the ‘Education Performance and Achievement’ as ‘Blocked’ with limited access set to the ‘Sub-group – member’. However, when I log into the other wp-member account with the role as ‘subscriber’, I seem to get the message ‘Sorry, you do not have access to view this page’ (Something along those lines)

    Is there something I am doing wrong? Is it that I need to somehow set the wp-member account role as the membership I created –> ‘Sub-group – member’?

    Hope you can help.

    Many thanks,
    Jon.

    Hi Jon,

    Thanks for your question – there does appear to be some issues with the membership product restriction when it is a role based product. I’ll dig into it further and determine if a fix is needed (it appears to be that way currently), what that fix is, and include it in an update.

    HI Chad,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    That’s great. It’s not a problem for the moment, as there is only a need for one type of member (Whether you’re registered or not – can be control by generally blocking the page or post), but it would be good to have different levels of membership in the future.

    For example, ‘Premium member’ has access to different areas than a ‘Standard member’.

    Many thanks,
    Jon.
