Not blocking page when another plugin is used

  • I have multiple pages that are all working as expected. I’ve got the defaults for WP-Members set to BLOCK all pages and posts and to NOT use excerpts.

    However, I am using a plugin called EASY FAQs on a few pages, to show a list of FAQs.

    If I remove the shortcode on the page – so – I only have text on the page and not the plugin activated, the page blocks as expected. As soon as I add the plugin shortcode, the page (all of it) becomes unblocked.

    I’ve tried adding a custom field “block” with value of true or 1, and unblock with a value of false or 0, same problem.

    I am also using a custom filter on the type of post ‘faqs’ so the actual FAQs won’t show, but my problem is that even the text before the faqs is showing.

    Thoughts?

    What is the shortcode that you are using?

    [faqs count='10' orderby='title' order='asc' category='technical']

    Again, this is for the Easy FAQs plugin

    hiltonmw,

    After I did a bunch of updates for WP and WP-members a few weeks back, I had a similar problem, with a homegrown FAQ. It appears that the main page is blocked but all sub (or child) pages are not blocked. I am not a programmer so the terminology is probably all wrong.

    I added to the beginning and end of the page, and it is blocked now..

    ‘[wpmem_logged_in]’

    ‘[/wpmem_logged_in]’

    Hopes this is helpfull,

    Thanks Benjamin!

    That actually works great as a workaround. I found a few other pages that were not being blocked, even though they should have, and in all cases, there was some other plugin or shortcode on the page. This works great to resolve my issues for now. Hoping in future releases I won’t need the code, but at least I have a fix now! Thanks again!

    Great!
