Access Tab

Overview

The access tab provides various settings for controlling access to your site.

Restriction Content

Global Site Access

By default, Ultimate Member will make your site’s access available to everyone. What this means is that every page/post on your site will be available to everyone unless you change the access rule on a particular page/post. This is the best option to use if you want to allow non-members to view your site’s content but want to restrict certain pages to members only.

The other option you have is to lock down the site and make the whole site only accessible for logged-in users. What this means is that every page/post on your site will only be available to logged-in users unless you change the access rule on a particular page/post to make a page available to everyone.

However, in using this option, it is important to create a page where non-members can sign-up/login to your site. For example, you may want to make your homepage a landing page to encourage new users to sign-up.

Notice: Pages Login, Registration, Password Reset can not be restricted. These pages are the exception.
