FAQ

Where are the options?

See the sub-page under the settings menu. Options will only show up for custom post types registered with public => true.

Inconsistent behavior for logged out users?

Logged-out users may see inconsistent behavior when attempting to access content that is hidden. They will likely see the front page, or the post type archive. They may see a 404 error. For best results, avoid including menus or other links to hidden content from public pages.

Access management

This plugin limits access to logged-in users. It does not provide any special handling of user registration management. Anyone at the subscriber level or greater can view all content filtered by this plugin. There is a warning on the settings page when sites allow anyone to register, which will allow anyone to view content restricted by this plugin. There are no plugin options to change the visibility restriction; the only level of access restriction is for logged-in status.
