[Resolved] Protected Pages in Woocommerce and Views

I am trying to:
Display a Post with URL using Views for a post that is protected by Woocommerce.

I visited this URL:
hidden link

I expected to see:
The Post title w/ links to pages that are protected

Instead, I got:
A content protected page warning.

I have this exact issue:

I'd like to know if it was resolved for this client, and if so, what solution was provided. If it cannot be resolved due to 3rd party issues, I'll seek a work-around, but thought I'd ask first.

Thanks,
Jeff

That issue was not due to Toolset.

On your Link, I see a list of Posts (links to), and no password protected screen.

For that clien there was not much to resolve as there was no issue with Toolset.

Can you explain what the problem is and how it relates to Toolset?
Does the problem disappear if you do not use Toolset?

Hi Beda - I realized after checking more that you are right, this is a WC issue. Sorry to bother you!

I discovered that a work-around (for others who have this issue and search this forum) is to restrict access to elements on the page with the [wc_restrict] shortcode rather than restrict content to entire posts via WC's Membership Plan or Product interfaces.

Protecting an entire page or post type triggers the content protection message even when you just want to display the post title with URL via Views (or anywhere else). I found I can get the same benefit by using the shortcode on a page rather than trying to protect on the post/page level.

Anyway, thanks for your quick response!
