login and join us – Dead link on protected page

[Amber S]

We have one membership level, free. When I protect the one page that is membership only it puts a notification at the top that you need to login or register (join us) at the top. The login and join us are highlighted as if they would link you to the appropriate pages, but there is no link. I have gone back through the instructions and can’t find where I maybe missed a step. I deleted and then recreated the required pages. I am unable to locate where I can easily go in and add the links. I feel like this should be a very simple fix, but everything I found in the instructions makes the assumption that the links are just supposed to work and I haven’t found where someone has had the same issue. Any pointers?

I noticed that you are using Elementor; which is known to have problems working with SWPM.

If I understand that linked information correctly, I would just need to remove Elementor from the page I want protected. However, when I unprotected the page, removed elementor from the page and then reprotected the page, The links still did not work. I went ahead and activated the Full Page Protection add on and that didn’t help either. Do I have to remove elementor from the entire site in order to get this to work? If so, Is there a plugin similar to Elementor that works with SWPM.

I will check with the developer.

Looks like you have put some kind of site-header block that is sitting on top of that protection message. Since one layer is on top of the other layer, the content protection message is not activating the hover effect.

Add the following CSS tweak to add a margin at the top of the content protection message. This way it will sit below your other invisible site-header block and the protection message will work normally (the links will be clickable):

.swpm_full_page_protection_not_logged_msg {
margin-top: 100px;
}
