Same goed here. The user should be redirected to the single item content template instead.
Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Both of these links are for pages that use views:
- hidden link
- hidden link
And it is expected, the view will display, whatever you configured to display, for any type of user. Because Toolset Access rules are not applied on views, they are applied on the custom posts' single page. For example, if you take the following post, it won't be accessible for guest users as you can see in this screenshot hidden link
- hidden link
The restrictions are set on page level!
See the post types "eigendommen" and "vakexperts".
For hidden link (post type "eigendommen")
- If the user is a guest then he should be redirected to the login / registration page
- If the user is an Author or a new subscriber then he should be redirected to the single item content template
For hidden link (post type "vakexperts")
- If the user is a guest then he should be redirected to the login / registration page
- If the user is an Author or a new subscriber then he should be redirected to the single item content template
1. Log out
2. Visit: hidden link hidden link
You are redirected to the login / registration page - so that's OK.
1. Login with _testaccount_2, password: MzLTpoatq1@DBiZglKPMLCTh
This user has the role of author and new subscriber so he should be redirected to the single item content template
2. Visit hidden link and click "meer informatie" of one of the properties. The user is NOT redirected to the single item content template, instead he is redirected to the detailed property page!
3. Visit hidden link and click "meer informatie" of one of the vakexperts. The user is NOT redirected to the single item content template, instead he is redirected to the detailed vakexpert page!
Maybe we are having a misunderstanding in naming things, especially because the word page is very popular on the internet(a web page), and confusing in the WordPress community.
WordPress offers 3 default post types: Pages, Posts, and Medias, and allows to register(using code or a plugin such as Toolset) new custom post types.
- Pages have a strict URL scheme. A page with slug "contact" has the following URL hidden link
- Posts may have different URL schemes that can be configured in Settings->Permalinks.
- Custom Post Types have a strict URL scheme. A Product with a slug "hoodie" will have the following URL hidden link. This can be customized using rewrite rules or custom code. We can talk about this separately.
hidden link is not a post from the CPT "eigendommen", it is a post from the default post type Pages, or commonly saying a page. hidden link is not a post from the CPT "vakexperts", it is a post from the default post type Pages, or commonly saying a page.
This means that the Toolset Access Controls on both CPTs "eigendommen" and "vakexperts" will not apply on these pages.
Now, let's take this URL hidden link This is a post from the CPT "eigendommen". Its URL is built based on the CPT slug "eigendom" and the post's "woning-berendrecht". The Toolset Access Controls on the CPT "eigendommen" should and must apply for this URL, otherwise, it is an issue/error/bug.
Does it make sense?
1. Log out
2. Visit: hidden link hidden link
You are redirected to the login / registration page - so that's OK.
This is not what I am getting. As a non-logged-in user, I am still able to view the pages. Check this screenshot hidden link
But when I visit a post from the CPT "eigendommen", I get the authentication form hidden link
Finally, please note that you are using the "Message - single item" template in the Toolset Access configuration hidden link
This template is already assigned to the CPT "Messages". I doubt that it is the one you want to use.
Instead of giving me a lesson of what a page is (or not) you could help by suggesting what post type EXACTLY I should change access control for in order to have "authors" and "new subscribers" redirected to the single item content template when visiting hidden link and hidden link when clicking "meer informatie"???
Thank you for waiting and reading through the conversation I feel the confusion arose from the "single item content template" term.
In the access post type control settings, I see that you've set the "Author" and "New subscribers" role user to not have read access to "eigendommen" and "vakexperts" posts and instead see the content from the content template named "Message - single item". But this part is not working and the user of this role is still seeing the regular content on the single post pages.
To troubleshoot and investigate this matter, I'll need to perform some testing on your website's clone. Do I have your permission to download a duplicator package from the website?
( the Duplicator plugin is already installed )
Thank you for waiting, as this investigation took longer than I initially anticipated.
During troubleshooting, I discovered that the default role "Participant" from the "bbPress" forum plugin is responsible for this.
When a new user is created, the "bbPress" sets an additional role "Participant" to it.
( as can be seen in this screenshot hidden link )
And since in the Access post type settings, the read access is removed for the "Author" and "New subscribers" roles but not the "Participant", that user is still able to access those posts.
( screenshot: hidden link )
To overcome this, you'll need to remove read access to these post types for the "Participant" role too, same as the "Author" and "New subscribers" roles.
