Versions prior to 6 available?

    Is there somewhere to get hold of previous releases of the plugin? Update to 6 has broken a bunch of stuff unfortunately…

    Also curious if there will no longer be a frontend access setting for restricing/allowing read access to pages? Or if there’s a different way to achieve locking down pages and only allowing certain users to have read access to them?

    Thanks

    @stevielovegun,

    Thank you for the post. Sure, you can get any AAM version from the archive here. However, I’m strongly discouraging this for multiple reasons. The major one is that AAM version 5 or lower, no longer is going to be maintained. We simply do not have capability to support multiple AAM releases and can move only forward.

    I’m more than happy to help you to solve your issues if you can explain what exactly is not working for you.

    To answer your other question, please check this thread https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/frontend-backend-settings-non-existent/.

    Really appreciate you getting back to me Vasyl.

    I have a bunch of issues from the update and have rolled back to an earlier version which has resolved some but not all.

    Firstly I was getting a comment form on all pages even without comments allowed for the page. This is work around-able by removing the call in the template to the comment form but seems odd.

    The biggest issue is an issue around frontend access.

    Firstly the organisation who run the site were creating users and giving them fronted/read access but these settings are no longer there.

    Secondly I have a number of pages that are limited read access to subscriber-level users either
    – in a special group
    – not in this group but explicitly given access to one or several of these page

    So all of these pages were set to
    – visitors read access restricted
    – subscribers read access restricted
    – users in the special group read access allowed
    – and for some of these pages specific subscriber-level users not in the special group explicitly given read access

    However now all subscribers can access all of the restricted pages whether they’re in the special group or not. Only way I can work around this is by specifically excluding each user from having read access to each page, so each time a new page is added all users have to be explicitly excluded. Previously this could be set as a default if I recall?

    Thanks.

    @stevielovegun,

    Thank you for all the details. Please find the answers below.

    Firstly I was getting a comment form on all pages even without comments allowed for the page. This is work around-able by removing the call in the template to the comment form but seems odd.

    This has been fixed. Please check this forum thread https://forum.aamplugin.com/d/353-comment-system-activated

    Firstly the organisation who run the site were creating users and giving them fronted/read access but these settings are no longer there.

    Unfortunately that was a mistake on our end with the migration script. The problem has been identified and fixed https://forum.aamplugin.com/d/369-notice-undefined-offset-1-service-content-php-on-line-509. This is going to be automatically corrected in the next 6.0.1 release shortly.

    You may try to install the version from the GitHub repository and this has a script that auto-corrects corrupted data.

    Keep me posted.

    Thanks Vasyl and sorry for the delay in responding.
    Have had to move on with other work and stick with the older version for now as the site in question was being used by a lot of people. Will attempt to upgrade again soon and let you know how we go.
