 * Hello,
    I just installed WP-Members and I was kind of surprised to see it working
   so seamlessly…! I have another plugin that requires registration for certain 
   features (lifterLMS), and a specific page that was supposed to require user login,
   was instead publicly available. That page is the reason why I decided to install
   WP-Members, in order to force visitor to register and login to see it. Now, right
   after installing WP-Members, I went to settings and selected to block content
   for pages only. Then I expected to be able to specify which pages I want to block,
   but found no place to specify that… nevertheless the right page got blocked behind
   a login form. This is what I wanted, but it happened out of my control, so now
   I am not sure if and how to control exactly what pages to block… I couldn’t find
   any hint in the online doc, could you please help? I need to understand hw to
   specify and control precisely which page (or post) to block. Thanks in advance
   for your attention, CR Cristiano.

 * Hi Cristiano,
 * For direct setting of a page (or post) to be blocked or unblocked, there is a
   setting in the post editor. The setting will be the opposite of whatever you 
   have selected as the default for that post type in the plugin’s main options 
   tab. So if you have selected pages to be blocked by default, this setting would
   allow you to unblock a page. In your case, since you just want to block a single
   page, you should set the default setting to not block pages; then you will be
   able to set that single page to be blocked.
 * For more information on this, see the following page in the documentation under
   the heading “Override the Default Setting for Posts”:
    [http://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/managing-content/restricting-posts/](http://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/managing-content/restricting-posts/)

 * I see.
    So the plugin sets the default for all pages(posts), and then individually
   I can override that default inside the page(post) editor. That makes sense. Thanks
   a lot!
