Auto Restrict Child pages not working

    Hi

    I’ve set up a level where I’ve restricted a single page. (which is working as expected)

    I also want to restrict all child pages (and future child pages) of that page.

    So I’ve selected “Auto-select new children of selected items”

    However the children are not restricted at all. This feature does not seem to be working.

    Can someone confirm if this is a bug or explain how that setting should work.

    Or do i have to manually update the Level settings and add each child page individually to the list of restricted pages

    WP 5.4.2
    RUA 2.0

  • I am new to this plugin, but I found that it will not auto-restrict child pages that already exist for that page. It will only add the restriction to new pages that are created.

    @kevinthom

    Thank you for your response here! That is correct.

    The keyword in the “Auto-select new children of selected items” option is new. It will not currently import currently existing items as conditions.

    Thank you both for your responses.

    I thought that may be the case, but it still does not seem to work, even for brand new child pages i’ve just created. (i even deleted all existing child pages and created new ones to test). Only the main ‘parent’ page gets redirected to the login page. (the child pages are not restricted)

    Maybe there’s a conflict with the redirecting functionality. I’m not sure.

    Any ideas?

    I may have to set up a brand new wp installation just to check that it does function the way you are describing.

    Thanks again

    Hi

    I’ve just tried on a clean installation with no other plugins and is still not working as described.

    Only the main restricted page is restricted. Any “new” child pages i’ve created are Not restricted.

    Can anyone else confirm that they’ve testing this feature?

    Thanks

    Hi. I’m having the same issue.
    The new child pages are not restricted.

    thanks @gabrielbrasil for confirming!

    It was driving me crazy ??

    Hopefully @intoxstudio can look at this issue soon. Everything else I’ve testing so far seems to be great with the plugin.

    Apologies for the delayed response here.

    I just tried to reproduce the issue and can confirm that the “Auto-select new children of selected items” option was broken due to a bug in version 2.0.

    It will be fixed in the next version, and I will look into if it can be feasible to have an option that includes all existing sub-items as well.

    Thank you again everyone for reporting it!

    No Problem!

    Looking forward to checking out the new version.

    One quick question: did the feature use to restrict ALL Descendants of the restricted page or just children.

    This has been resolved in 2.1, thank you again for reporting, and if you encounter any other issues or have questions, don’t hesitate opening a new support thread.
