Thanks for your response Kris. One quick question for you. In your testing, have you tried accessing a page directly? If I am able to ever see a heading for a post (not via category but by posts themselves), I’m able to navigate to the otherwise “private” post. Likewise, if I have the url (post ID), and I enter it in the address bar, it shows up. Are you able to test this on your end to see if this works for you? On my end, things sort of work as you’ve described, except that I’ve found quite a few ways around it (entering in a post ID manually, a plugin on a page that displays all posts in a category (which shows the posts and then allows you to click on the title to view them). If this plugin actually stopped a user from navigating to the post if they didn’t have access, we’d be golden.
Thanks and I look forward to your feedback.
