 * So my online magazine went live today after everything seeming perfect. Then 
   suddenly I discover that all of the public posts are now restricted and people
   must login to read them. I figured it must be paid membership pro plugin so i
   shut it off, but the problem remained. So I deactivated theme my login and sure
   enough all the posts became available to public again, but then i was locked 
   out of my dashboard and had to go in via the back door and turn theme my login
   on again. I feel like I have been taken hostage.
    The posts are all reading on
   the back end as though they are under restricted categories, but they are not.
   Somehow it is theme my login that is causing this. Do you have any ideas for 
   me about how to resolve this issue? I hope my description was clear. If I cannot
   sort it out and have to remove theme my login, how do I do that without being
   locked out of my site?
 * Thanks.

 * The only setting TML has even similar to this is when the Security module is 
   active, you can enable the Private Site option requiring users to login to view
   any of your site.

 * No, the security module isn’t active.
    Do you have any idea why I couldn’t log
   back into my site once I deactivated tml? I had to go back in via the godaddy
   backdoor and reactivate to gain access. I’d like to disable tml so folks can 
   read my posts but it’s an issue if I’m getting locked out. Do you have any ideas
   how I might go about that, Jeff? Thanks in advance.

 * If you disabled TML, it would no longer be affecting your site.
