Wrong redirect page. Why?

    Hello!

    I just tried to restrict access to most of the site to anonymous (not logged) users.

    Here is what I did:

    1. Created access level Guests, synchronized with user role: “logged-out users” and set the redirect page to a page called Redirect. Then I added an accessible to Guests content in the Restriction tab.

    2. Created access level Members, synchronized with user role: “authors” and set the redirect page to a page called Forum. Then I set it to extend Guests. Under the Restriction tab created a negated condition group with “Static Pages – 404 Page”.

    Now, when I’m browsing the site as not-logged user and trying to access restricted content I’m redirected to the Forum page instead of Redirect page.

    What am I doing wrong? Please, help!

    Thank you!

    Thank you for reporting this.

    The “Redirect” option you set for an access level means that users that do not have this level will be redirected. I.e. in your case logged-out users will be redirected to “Forum” because that is the option you selected.

    Would it be possible for you to change the redirect option for Members from Forum to the page Redirect (as mentioned in pt.1)?

    Joachim, thank you for explanation and your great and useful plugin! Yes, changing the redirect option for Members from page ‘Forum’ to the page ‘Redirect’ is not a big problem, will do this.

    I just wanted you to be aware of this issue: I’m pretty sure when there are extended access levels you should check the lowest levels as well: does user belongs to the level ‘Members’? If ‘yes’ – redirect to ‘Forum’, if ‘no’ – continue checking: does user belongs to the level ‘Guests’? If ‘yes’ – redirect to ‘Redirect’, if ‘no’ – redirect to ‘Forum’.
