I am in the midst of creating a discussion forum using Toolset. I am having Members (logged in) to create a question. I'm using WordPress Posts as the way to do it since it has built in comments capabilities. Once posted other members can come in and make comments.
The problem I'm running into is other people can see the posts even when they are not logged in. I know I need to go into Access Control, select Posts Groups, and create a group for Logged In Users and add all the pages (see screenshot).
Is there a way that all WordPress Posts would require a login using Access?
Thanks
Ron
thank you. I maybe doing things right then. I was just having the Comments show under the login screen until they logged in. (see image). Probably in the template. I'll try to figure out. Keeping this open just in case I can't.
Hi Nigel,
I believe I have the settings correct on Access Control (although its kinda of wierd I have 2 Posts listed on Post Types). I have it set for non registered users to go to the login form content template. (see screenshot access control settings)
But when I am not logged in and I go to the Post Link I'm seeing all the comments, . (see screenshot guest look at post). You can tell I'm logged out since each message is saying login to reply. Only problem is if they click on those links they are taken to the WordPress login and not the one I created using Toolsets Post Forms.
Client does not want the outside world see any comments or questions due to legalities. Only logged in members get to see the questions or the comments. Can you take a look at my site and see why it's not working like it should? I can grant you a user account so you can log in and see how this is working?
