I’m able to restrict access to all pages and posts in my s2member member’s area, except for 2:

1. Category pages are public and are indexed in Google (not good).

2. Also, my welcome page has this message in the WP editor: This Page is your:
Membership Options Page
(always publicly available).

How can I make it so all of these pages are not public?

Thank you for your inquiry.

I’d recommend using s2Member’s URI Restrictions.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions

The URL restrictions worked for every page except for one:
Membership Options Page.

It says that it’s always publicly available. And it is public even though I added a URL restriction for the URL. Can I please PM you the URL so you can take a look? Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this in my previous reply. s2Member will not allow the Membership Options Page to be restricted ever, because it would cause an endless loop. s2Member restricts content by sending Users to the Membership Options Page. If you’d like to stop Google from indexing this, you might take a look at editing your robots.txt file.
