 * Hi,
 * I was using Members plugin, but decided to switch to this one, because it was
   working better on another one of our sites.
 * I marked pages and posts as blocked, but it’s not blocking anything …

 * That’s a pretty broad topic with not much to go on. I’d suggest starting with
   [this FAQ](https://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/faqs/#block) and some
   of the content it links to. Also, going through the [Initial Setup video](https://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/videos/)
   may help you understand how the plugin works and how to configure it.

 * Thanks for your reply. I read somewhere in your faq/documentation that my kind
   of topic is common.
 * I looked into it more and realized your plugin only blocks the_content();
    Our
   theme prints a lot of important stuff outside of the the_content in its template
   files, so I guessing I’m forced to use a different plugin.

 * I wouldn’t say “common” but I would say that when it does come up it’s generally
   a misunderstood issue. The plugin alone handles what’s in the_content (as you
   already noted).
 * If you have things outside of the main content variable, there are ways to handle
   that. If it’s post meta that is part of the template, I’d say just handle that
   directly in the template (you should be using a child theme anyway). Use [is_user_logged_in()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_user_logged_in/)
   to determine login state and show/hide it that way.
