Trouble protecting blog page

Hello,

I cannot seem to protect this page on my site
http://achievewebsitemastery.com/blog

I’ve tried URI and Alternate view protection, but neither worked

Any thoughts?

Hi Derek,

Is that page a regular WordPress page, or is it a special page? By “special page” I mean have you selected that page as your WordPress “Posts Page” or your “Front Page” in WordPress -> Settings -> Reading? If so, you cannot easily restrict those pages.

Try creating a normal WordPress page and then restricting it. Does that work? If not, what happens?

Yes, that’s exactly what it is.
We use Settings/Reading on all our sites, cause all our sites have a blog – it’s wordpress.

So you are saying S2member cannot protect a blog?

What are our options? All our sites have blogs – this is extremely important to us :(

Can you recommend a plugin that will insert blog on a regular page?

OK, problem solved with Blog-in-Blog plugin

Thank you for the update, Derek.

s2Member has many advanced PHP functions that can be used to protect content (see Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals), so you could certainly create a WordPress Page Template that replicates the blog home page (listing the most recent blog posts) and then protect that page with s2Member.

It sounds like the Blog-in-Blog plugin does essentially the same thing, replicating the home-page functionality in a regular page.
