Make Certain Taxonomies Accessible to Everyone

    Hello!

    I’m creating a community website using Ultimate Member, and I was wondering if there was a way to have specific taxonomies “accessible to everyone”? I have the global site set to “Accessible to logged in members only”, and in the Exception URLS tab I’ve listed a few of my categories’ urls (for example: https://www.mysite.com/BLOG-POSTS/ to show a listing of all of the posts in the category “Blog Posts”). I even went to the category itself and set the accessibility to “Everyone”. BUT—it’s not working.

    When I test out the navigation as a logged out user, clicking on any category or tag links redirect me to the Redirect Page I have set up :/ It shouldn’t be, however, since I listed these particular taxonomy links in the “Excluded” option in the Ultimate Member settings, and I also made them accessible to everyone on the actual taxonomy page. Not sure what I’m doing wrong??

    Thanks!

    Hi @lattesandstories,

    Do you have the latest 1.3.88 version of the Ultimate member installed?
    You should be able to set your post category to accessible to everyone and access the posts within this category.
    Do you have any security plugins installed?
    Can you please try to do a conflict test so we can rule out theme/plugin conflicts and see if this issue goes away?
    Here is the doc on how to do a conflict test if you are not sure.

    Regards.

    Thank you, I just saw your reply now and will test it out. I’m not sure what version of UM I have, but I believe it’s the most recent, for I haven’t gotten any update alerts from it and I just downloaded it last month. I will double check and make sure, though.

    Hello again! I have figured out what the problem was:

    I’m facepalming myself as I type this. So, I totally failed to see the option in the Access Settings of UM that read “Make Categories Accessible”; because of that, it was automatically set to “NO”, and that made none of my categories accessible.

    So alas I have fixed this problem. I do have another question, though, closely tied to this: is there a way to make only certain categories accessible, while making all others not?</strong?

    Would that have to be taken care of by specifically editing the category to be private?

    I was hoping that maybe I could have had all categories automatically be private unless I edited it to BE public on the specific category page, but I don’t think that works with the “Make Categories Accessible” option turned to “NO” (as that’s what I was doing before). Any tips?

    Thanks again.
