[Resolved] Access is not working

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

How to use Access to block guests from accessing website.

Solution:

Unfortunately you can only block guests from accessing the content on the website and not the entire website itself.

To do this a third party plugin is required. What you can do is to install the following plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/presslabs-site-protection/

I am trying to:
give NO ACCESS if you are Guest (protect the site for use as an Intranet)

I visited this URL:
hidden link

I expected to see:
404 or nothing!

Instead, I got:
Content on Page AND Post
even if Managed by Access but NO Read on either!

Hi Frode,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I tested this and it works fine on my end on my local test site.

Is it that you just want to hide the content from guests ? The menu items will still show but the guests wont see the page content.

Please let me know .

Thanks,
Shane

Have a LOOK at what I experience:

hidden link

The strange thing is: the behavior differs!!
On i.gagama.no I would normally get: Can't find the page, but now - like on hidden link
I get to see ALL the content. Note: on i.gagama.no I get all content on first page - NOT on other pages
but I used to get "Can't find page" on ALL pages!!

is Toolset Access buggy or is it buggy in combination with WPEngine!?

I have DEACTIVATED Access and installed
"Site protection plugin for dev instances to avoid indexing by search engines. Doesn't allow access to the site without being logged-in."
This works ...
