Are these custom post types? (If you’re not sure, if you don’t go to the Posts > All Posts -or- Pages > All Pages menus to manage these, they are custom post types.)
Custom post types are not natively supported, but you can configure your installation to support the CPTs you have:

I don’t know what you mean. It’s a page with an image, shortcode for wpcourseware, and portfolio collection.
I suppose the portfolio items are considered custom post types because they aren’t listed in the normal page or post area. They are listed under portfolio in my theme.
And the wp courseware is using a shortcode to display its content.
I thought everything on the page would be blocked. Not just certain types of things. I’ll look at the link you sent
If its not in the Posts > All Posts menu or Pages > All Pages menu, then its a custom post type (technically, we should include media/attachments, menu items, and revisions in that as well, but we’re really talking about “pages” here).
Based on your description, these are CPTs. They are not “pages” in the WordPress sense of the word.
I thought everything on the page would be blocked. Not just certain types of things.
As I indicated, they can be. But you’re operating under the assumption that the plugin would know that these Custom Post Types exist – by nature, these are “custom” so they are not part of what WordPress’ default post types are. As such, there are infinite possibilities as to what types of content there are and what it can be called. So for the plugin to know to block these, you have to tell it what they are and that you want them blocked.
On a related note, I would like to implement CPT support within the plugin. It was tried with version 3.0.0, but it was unsuccessful and had to be rolled back. The custom nature of CPTs made it much more complex for it to be handled in a dynamic way. So at some point, it will be included in the plugin, but for now, I’ve made the necessary information available on the support site.
