Well I’ve discovered THREE things:

1. There’s a typo in /wp-content/plugins/member-access/views/options-page.phtml

look for:

<?php parent_dropdown($this->get(‘postspate_redirect_page’)) ?>

and replace it with:

<?php parent_dropdown($this->get(‘postspage_redirect_page’)) ?>

I’m not sure how this got past basic testing as it seems to be something in a fundamental area.

2. There is some kind of logic bug in the code that I haven’t been able to identify that goes wrong if there are NO excerpts at all of any kind and you select “Posts page includes excerpts of content viewable only by members” plus the associated redirect. A null excerpt seems to be the cause of the blank (actually NO page) output.

3. Excerpts have to be explicitly created and not as I had understood simply posts with <More> on the front page – my bad.

I have also realised that my requirement “could” possibly be met by ensuring that ANY page/link/post etc. that is clicked by a “guest” visitor should take them to a sign-up page, since I want ANYONE to be able to view ALL the data on the home page but sign up if they want the full access. Hmmm back to the drawing board maybe.

Have also notified Chris Abernethy (author) about issues.

Well in a way I’m glad others are having the same issue ‘cos I was beginning to think that I was losing it completely.

My requirements are for the home page with max 5 latest posts (extracts) viewable by ALL/ANY; any post or other link clicked to then redirect to “members only” message (if not logged in), with a further link to actual sign-up/log-in. Eventually I want this as a “greybox” pop-up OVER the home page – but that’ll be AFTER I get the basics working.

@ralloux: when you say you get an “empty” page are you like me getting a completely empty page i.e. NO HTML code at all when Source viewed?

Everything about this plugin smacks of quality in terms of how well thought out it appears to be and I’m really hoping that this is just a minor glitch that needs resolving.

@mazoo: what version of WP were you using when it worked previously? Also did you make any settings changes in between?

@psaad: Patrick, since @ralloux & myself both get a blank page with no 404 error, have you set up a specific 404 redirect anywhere?

I’m a bit concerned that you guys have not had any response in here for over three weeks and the original Q is a month old.

I’m going to see if I can contact the plugin author directly – especially as I downloaded it only two days ago after seeing an article saying it was now V1.0 & solid after several Beta versions.

Here’s hoping.

For anyone else who is struggling with this … some extra info. I had almost the EXACT same problem as above – The solution:

Go to your /public_html/wp-content/plugins/ folder (or whatever path you have to your blog) on your web site either via an FTP client (or using your CPanel file manager or any other means of FTP) and DELETE the plugin folder containing the file/s that are causing the error. So for “plugin installer” (as I had a problem with) delete that folder. Similarly for the wordpress-automatic-upgrade shown above (I also had this one from a previous instal/upgrade) delete that folder too.

When you click the plugins link again WP will show some errors showing that the offending plugins have been deactivated due to an error (which is what you want). Bottom line is that there appear to be conflicts between the two plugins above (specifically) and the new embedded “upgrade” facilities within 2.7 so you don’t need the plugins anyway.

Can someone with relevant access take an action to add these to the “Conflicting Plugins” list or the “Do NOT work” list please?

Hope the above helps – should also hold true for any other plugins causing problems.
