bannec

I have managed to solve this issue but don’t know why what I did worked.

Instead of trying to unblock the home page from within the page settings itself, I used the main list of Pages and unblocked the home page from there.

For some reason this held, unlike from within the actual page admin.

Can anyone explain why this worked?

Thanks

The plugin remains faulty, does anyone have any further suggestions?

I have checked the custom fields, there is only one but it contains neither ‘block’ or ‘unblock’.

What else might I try? (I do appreciate your help!)

It’s possible. We’ve been using wp-members since 2016 and have had no problems til now. The upgrades have been done as and when they appear, but while ago we had to roll back the site which then necessitated redoing all the plugin updates.

Any suggestions as to how we get past this.

(Sorry about posting the whole thread!)

Hi

Simply put, the Page Restriction facility is faulty on just one page – the front page. I am able to turn blocking on and off on other pages, but not the front page.
I don’t know why or when this page became blocked – I have used the Health-check plugin and nothing untoward shows up when each plugin is renistalled separately.
Clearly something is wrong.
I would be grateful for any help available.
Thanks

Will do, thanks for your help. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Hi there

I can’t find any other wp-config.php file. I copied all the conversation from here over to the wpmembers support section, but as yet I’ve had no response.

Is it that a wpmembers page is invading the front page or is the fault part of the front page?

Might it just be easier to create a brand new front page from scratch and simply replace the faulty one? Or am I not understanding where the problem originates from?

I’m at work today so can’t do anything else until late afternoon.

I really don’t know. On the web hosting platform I went to a folder called file manager and found a document called wp-confif.php I opened that and it was blank. Perhaps I wasn’t in the right place? (I am a novice – but you probably guessed that if you didn’t read it earlier!)

Erm, thank you for that – I have opened the wp-config.php file (on the cloud hosting site) and found it empty! Should it be?

I have been through the troubleshooting process and re-enbaled all plugins one by one. All ok. But it occured to me that viewing the site whilst logged in as an administrator the front page was automatically showing – ie no need to log in again.

Logging in on another pc only allowed me to see the site with the original problem.

Since completing the troubleshooting, and opening the website without logging in, I am directed to the registration page again.

I would be grateful for any other thoughts you may have.

Before I opened the Troubleshooting tab, I noticed this:

The AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED constant is defined and enabled.

How would I sort this one out? (I might as well do the whole thing if I can!)

Oh thank you, that sounds very helpful. I will install Healthcheck and see what comes up.

My problem is similar- but not the same. WP members was fine but suddenly has barged itself onto the front page of the website. When the site is accessed, all they see is the registration page instead of the usual info that should be available to all.

In Pages, I have the option to ‘unblock’ the front page bu as soon as I ‘update’ it goes back to being blocked.

WP everything was chosen as I am only a volunteer with basic knowledge and understanding of how to manage the website. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Thank you, all sorted now!

Ok, thanks. I’ll try there!
