Hi, I started out with Simple Membership using the Full Page Protection plugin for my portfolio website a few years ago and it works great. Now I am trying to display “teaser” content. Before reading this article (https://simple-membership-plugin.com/creating-teaser-content-membership-site/) I installed the Partial Protection plugin then tried and failed with the shortcodes. After reading the above-mentioned article, I went through and added <More> tags. So far, Full Page Protection is still working perfectly . . . but I cannot get teaser content to display for not-logged-in users.
I keep reading that I should not protect the full page (or category, etc.) when trying to display partial content/teaser. However, I don’t know what that means exactly.
I went into Simple WP Membership::Membership Levels::Post and Page Protection and unselected ONE page where I’m trying to get a teaser to work. Instead of the teaser, all of the content was displayed.
I know I’m doing something really obvious wrong. Can someone help me? Thanks!!!
Hi,

What shortcode are you using to partially protect your content?
Kind regards.
Hi mbrsolution,
I am opting to NOT use the shortcodes because they didn’t seem to work very well with my editor (classic using blocks). However, what I tried was [swpm_protected]protected content[/swpm_protected]
Thanks!Note: Obviously it could be that whatever causes “More” tags to not work could also be making the shortcodes not work. I’m happy to use either — although I just added “More” tags to ever single page of my portfolio so it would be awesome if I could get that to work. At the same time, it would be nice to be able to hide content here and there within a page too, as the shortcodes would facilitate.
Hi,

Did you read the following documentation?

Also, this issue might be related to your theme or a plugin conflict. Please check the following troubleshooting steps.
Let me know how you go.
Kind regards.
OK I solved it. The problem is that Full Page Protection and Partial Page Protection cannot be used simultaneously.
It would be helpful to mention that in the documentation somewhere.
Hi, I am happy to know that you managed to fix your issue.

The following documentation does mention this towards the end.

Q: Did you read the following documentation?https://simple-membership-plugin.com/creating-teaser-content-membership-site/
A: Yes, I referenced it in my initial post.Q:Also, this issue might be related to your theme or a plugin conflict. Please check the following troubleshooting steps.
https://simple-membership-plugin.com/forums/topic/test-for-plugin-and-theme-conflict-before-posting-an-issue-or-a-bug/
A: Yes, I disabled all plugins except Simple Membership (including Simple Membership plugins/addons). No change. Switching to a standard theme (Twenty Twenty) makes no difference.Again, what’s happening is WP Membership Full Page Protection continues to hide the entire page.
I did not disable WP Membership addons. What I did do was go into Simple WP Membership::Membership Levels::Post and Page Protection and unselected ONE page where I’m trying to get a teaser to work. Instead of the teaser, all of the content was displayed.
So my question is, am I missing something obvious that is not stated? For example, is it not possible to run Full Page Protection and Partial Page Protection simultaneously? Are the Protection addons fighting with each other?
No. There is no documentation on this. What it says is:
———-
Important Note
When you want to use partial protection on a post or page, you should not protect the full post or the category that the post belongs to. When you apply category protection for a category, all the posts in that category is fully protected (category protection overrides any other protection in the post).
———-As I explained in this thread, there are many ways to “not protect the full post or the category.” I tried all of them. Nothing told me I needed to disable Full Page Protection. Nowhere did I find any documentation saying that I must disable Full Page Protection for Partial Page Protection to work.
I mean, you made both. If it’s so obvious, why didn’t you tell me in response to my initial post when I said I had been using Full Page Protection for a few years? I’m not criticizing you, just asking you to to provide documentation that will help anyone else who already has Full Page Protection and adds Partial Page Protection.
Very simple: just say, “If you have our very own Full Page Protection, you must disable it for Partial Page Protection to work. Sorry, if you want full page protection on on page A and partial page protection on page B, you must choose and disable the one you can live without.”
