    Hello,

    I was wondering if you can create a plugin that can enable admins to restrict page access by member types. Maybe by adding a setting option in the admin post editor to restrict pages access to only selected member types.

    This plugin would work effectively with the If menu plugin which now has support to restrict menu access to member types. https://wordpress.org/plugins/if-menu/

    It would be pointless to restrict menu access by member type if the page can still be accessed directly through url or google search.

    Thanks

    I think adding this feature to the member types pro plugin would be a much cleaner approach. This will make the member types pro much more extensive.

    If a user who does not have member type access should try to access a member type restricted page, that user should either be shown a custom error message or be redirected to another page added in the member type setting.

    I think the redirection approach would be better.

    What are your thoughts

    thanks

    Hi Tosin,
    Thank you for the suggestion.

    I do like it. At the moment, we don’t have sufficient time available due to previously planned releases.

    I will add it to our future list and will hope to coincide it with BuddyPress 7.0 release.

    Thank you
    Brajesh
