• I have been using the breakdance plugin (free tier) for a very basic site for volunteers only website. No commerce or anything like that. Just static/embed information and links. I know breakdance php is overriding the WP and other plugin access roles. Does anyone know how to allow members plugin to work with breakdance? Or have also to find there is no solution at all for this?

    Objective: 2 groups of roles. Volunteers (subscribers) and board members (editors). I need to hide certain fll pages from volunteers.

    Hi @angelsaction,

    This isn’t a conflict so much as a rendering difference. Members’ Content Permissions works by filtering the_content — it swaps the post content for your restriction message when the current user’s role doesn’t match. Breakdance doesn’t run the_content on pages built with Breakdance by default, so there’s nothing for Members to filter and the page renders in full.

    Breakdance has a setting for this: Breakdance → Settings → Advanced → Apply the_content Filter. Turning that on makes Breakdance run the_content on singular Breakdance content, which lets Members’ restrictions apply. Do read their note on it first — they disable it by default for a reason: https://breakdance.com/documentation/other/security/ — the risk is shortcode execution in user-submitted data, which likely doesn’t apply to a static volunteer site, but worth understanding before you flip it.

    Two things to check alongside that:

    • Content Permissions has to be enabled in Members → Settings → Content Permissions before the per-page role box appears.
    • Members restricts the content of a page, not the URL. The page still loads and the title/menu still show — the body just gets replaced with your message. If you need volunteers to not reach the page at all, you’d want a redirect rather than content restriction.

    Also worth knowing: Breakdance’s own user-role display conditions are Pro-only, so that route isn’t open to you on the free tier.

    If the setting is on and restrictions still don’t apply, let us know your WordPress version, Members version, and whether it still happens with other plugins deactivated.

    Regards,
