[wp-members status=.. unblocks the page

    I would like to create a blocked page with a shortcode showing the user name if the user is logged in and a shortcode allowing the user to logout.
    If the user is not logged in, the page should prompt the user to enter the login id and the password.

    The new code [wpmem_logout] works fine and prompts the logged user to logout on that blocked page. But when I add [wp-members status=”in”] or [wp-members status=”out”] to show the login status, the page becomes unblocked even if it is declared to be blocked. Is there a shortcode I can use that would show the login status without compromising the security of that page?

    It appears that you misunderstand what this shortcode does. It is not to display the users login status. It is for displaying content based on whether the user is logged in or not, i.e. if you have some content that should show to a user who is not logged in and other content that should be viewable to logged in users only.

    Now, if you want to create some type of user status display, you could probably do something like this:
    [wpmem_logged_in]You are logged in as [wpmem_field field=”user_login”][/wpmem_logged_in]

    These are relatively new and have yet to be fully documented.

    For anyone else reading this later, let me point out that in the plugin documentation regarding the status shortcode, it specifically states that this shortcode is not for use on blocked content.

    Note that while the status shortcode can be be used to display different content to logged in or logged out users on pages and posts that are not blocked, it cannot be used on pages or posts that are blocked.

    The only problem I have is that even blocked pages still show the widgets, at least on Graphene theme I use. I guess, this plugin cannot block widgets.

    Hello guys,

    how can I tell some JS code on my logIn page if the user is logged in or not? In particular I would love to have some kind of overlayer that disappears on a successful log in and remains unchanged if the login failed or isn’t done at all.

    Thanks so much for any help or ideas! I am new to php
