access denied page

hey hami,

have you found a solution for this issue? it’d be nice if you’d post it in here so i can try to fix it for the other plugin(s), too.

thx

Hey Renet and Walterego,

Sorry for the slow progress, I’m without Internet at home at the moment as I’m moving house. I’ve had a look at the Registered Only plugin (well found Walter) and I see the funciton is being called at ‘init’ instead of ‘wp_head’ where I was calling it.

I’ve made the modifications to Members Only so can you try this new version and see if it fixes your problem?

Members Only 0.3

Thanks for send those mails by the way, I couldn’t see anything obviously glaringly being the problem – let’s see if calling the function at ‘init’ fixes things.

Hey Hami,

I haven′t really tested this version thoroughly, what I did is: activate -> check if members only is toggled -> log out -> go to blog’s main page.

Now, I didn’t get the error this time, but I could view my website as I could before the members only plugin.

So, errors are fixed, the plugin just doesn’t do anything. Registered only still works.

off topic: being without internet is one of the reasons why moving sucks. it just never rolls smoothly.

it’s the same with my blog… doesn’t prevent non-registeres and logged in visitors from viewing the entries…

Hey Walterego and Renet,

Sorry about that, I wasn’t getting that error on my WordPress installs even on 2.3RC1. I changed the way that the plugin found out if the user was logged in with that version by using the cookie – I guess it didn’t work.

Can you try this version, as I’ve changed it back to checking against the current User ID.
Members Only 0.3

Off Topic: Internet got turned on last night!

??

Still the same… No errors too though…

Ok let’s try this one…
Members Only 0.3

I changed the redirect back to a header call instead of wp_redirect and changed where I’m checking to see if the blog is Members Only

Hopefully this one might work, I just can’t get the errors your having – all of those past versions are working just fine for me.

yesss this works for me, thanks a lot, fine work though you didn’t get the errors ^^

next time i would have tried upgrading to 2.3 – maybe i’ll do that anyway ^^

um 2 little things: access to /wp-admin/*, /wp-login.php* and to /wp-register.php* (etc.?) should be allowed for non-registered users as well! ?? because i use the defined page to display to non-registered users…

another thing: how can i implement a “redirect_to” to a wp-page? is that possible? because i use a sidebar-login form. after logging in i’m redirected to the specified “access denied” page… hmh this should be thought over a little more i think this is not that easy to implement…

another thing would be: how about adding the functionality of adding paged that are allowed for all visitors? wp-password has implemented this quite well in an inofficial alpha version. if you want to, i can send it to you.

Great glad it’s fixed – it’s so hard to debug something when you can’ t recreate the problem.

You should be able to access /wp-login.php* but I did forgot to specifically add /wp-register.php, so if your using a custom login page you won’t be able to get to it. I’ll add that as a specific page you can get to.

I’m not sure your about /wp-admin/* though – what would you want a user that isn’t logged in to get to in there? By default you can’t get in there anyway with out being logged in. The only thing I could think would be /wp-admin/upgrade.php

On the redirect, that’s a function of wp-login.php so unless you can add it to your login form on the sidebar, I don’t think this plugin would be able to help.

The other feature your after is a page that non-logged in user can access other than the login page? I’ll look at adding a way of excluding some pages from the redirection.

I’m working on the bigger brother of Members Only called Eyes Only that allows you to restrict individual page and post access based on the user’s role otherwise you will be redirected to the login page.

Works! Thnx Hami!

right, /wp-login.php works, sorry.

if a user isn’t logged in, he automatically gets redireted to the wp-login page, if he tries to visit /wp-admin/*. so why should this be protected?

i use the live search popup plugin. if a user is not logged in he cannot live-search my blog entries, because the plugin tries to access /wp-content/plugins/…/….php. so it’d be nice, if one could not only specify pages and posts that are accessable, but also any possible file/folder. ??

i’ve already implemented the redirect function to the sidebar login form. but when your plugin redirects a user to the specified “access denied” page, it’s not possible for me to find out what page he wanted to see…

do me a favour and make “eyes only” work for user-level restricted pages even without changing them to private status. because there are already a few plugins that do this job… ??

i just realized that when i start my webbrowser the first time i try to access my weblog, it is not protected. as soon as i refresh the blog or go to another page on my blog, the protectin is working. until the next browser restart…

i’ll set up a wp test installation and give you admin and ftp access so you can try out to fix this, if it doesn’t appear on your installation…

hmh @home it works even when trying the first time after starting my browser. at university it doesn’t, as though i’ve installed the same browser versions (firefox 2.0.0.7). weird…

That’s superweird, because php is serversided and browsers don’t matter. Are you sure renet? Doesn’t it maybe have something to do with cache?

as my sidebar-loginform checks the loginstatus and showed the loginform instead of user-information i can be sure that i was not logged in @ university… so it can’t be related to cache…
