Content restriction not working—admin can still see block for logged-out users

  • Hello, one of my sites is using blocks/gutenberg and I’m trying to restrict a group to logged out users only.

    Screenshot of WordPress page editor with a group block selected and that its Ultimate Member content restriction settings are toggled on and configured to display to logged-out users while hiding the block from everyone else.

    On the same page, I have buttons that are restricted to logged in users only.

    Screenshot of WordPress page editor with a buttons block selected and that its Ultimate Member content restriction settings are toggled on and configured to display to logged-in users (all roles) while hiding the block from everyone else.

    When I view the page as a logged-out user, it works perfectly!

    Screenshot of the frontend view of the page that was being edited, viewed as a logged-out user. The buttons block is successfully hidden while the group block is successfully visible. This is the intended behavior.

    However, when I view the page using my administrator account, I can still see the block that is supposed to only be visible for logged-out users.

    Screenshot of the frontend view of the same page from above that was being edited, viewed as a logged-in user with administrator role. Both the buttons block and the group block are visible. The is incorrect as the intended behavior is to hide the group block.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello @tessawatkinsllc

    The administrator is an exception for restrictions.

    Thank you for your reply. Is there a setting where the admin isn’t an exception? My client’s accounts are also admins and don’t understand why it’s “not working” (even though it is).

    I guess I can hide it with CSS. Or is there a filter I can hook into with PHP to achieve the behavior I want?

    Thanks!

    Hello @tessawatkinsllc

    You could try to use CSS:

    body.logged-in .YOUR_BLOCK_CLASS { display: none;}

    Regards.
