I am trying to: enable members to publishing, editing and view their own posts but restrict access to others posts.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: must be a member

I expected to see: only posts created by specific users

Instead, I got: members can see all posts

Hi, have you considered enforcing the "Private" post status in your CRED forms? A private post is only visible to its own Author, plus Editors and Administrators, on the front-end of the site. If that's not appropriate, please provide some more details about what other criteria you need to consider.

Thanks Christian, I just tried creating a new post using the admin role but when I logged back in a a subscriber to create a new post the admin post is still visible to the subscriber. Can you please log in and take a look? Let me know what you need to do so. Thanks

Okay, I have enabled private reply fields here. Please provide admin and subscriber login credentials, let me know which post you created, and where you are viewing the post on the front-end of the site (is it the standard single post page, or in a View on another custom page, in an archive, etc).
