Our website uses s2Member Pro, of course. Our website members are allowed, with paid membership, access to exclusive website content that the public does not have access to. We have used WordPress SEO by Yoast for all of our public web pages. However, we are unsure if the private member content pages should have SEO. Should they be blocked from all search engines because they are password protected areas? Can you offer any advice or suggestions? Thanks so much, Randy Website Assistant for Sage-ing International

For protected areas of your site, s2Member will block access to your posts/pages from search engines such as Google, just as a regular logged-out member would be. These crawlers are instead redirected to your Membership Options Page. So SEO for these pages is not required or used.
