Show notification that page is restricted

When a visitor clicks on a restricted post/page on my website, I would like them to see a notification that the page is restricted. Right now it redirects to the membership options page which is ok, but it’s not clear why they’re now viewing a seemingly unrelated page.

What’s the best way for me to create a notice that the page is restricted? Is there functionality within s2Member that can help with this? Let me know.

Thanks,
Eddie

Hi William.

Well, the Membership Options Page can be used to give a message explaining that the page he tried to view is restricted and how to gain access. If you want to customize the message depending on the page, you can use these variables: [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)[/hilite]

If you want to the message to be shown in the same page he tried to open, though, instead of restricting access to the whole page, you’ll instead have to leave the page unrestricted and protect the content with a conditional. That way if the user has access he can see the content, but if not he’ll see the message explaining. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Simple/Shortcode Conditionals[/hilite]

Awesome that’s exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for the help Cristián.

Cool. Glad I could help. :)
