I'm currently building a membership site using Toolset

I just wanted to check. Is there a way I can block all access to the site unless a person is logged in.

In other words, unless they are logged in all they will see is a login/register landing page

Thanks

Sure.

First, if you are going to deny guest users access to anything, you'll need to show them something.

If you go to Toolset > Access Control and bring the Pages post type under Access control then deny guests read access, you'll note the little edit icon appears for you to choose what they should see instead (screenshot).

You would presumably want to display a custom login or registration "page" in its place. From the available options you would choose to display a Content Template which you designed with the content you want such visitors to see.

You can do the same for the other post types on your site.
