Site Admins need to login again to access protected content

[Pete]

I have some pages that have “general protection” (so not visible for website visitors that are not logged in). The pages are visible for the membership level “member”.

If I am logged in as an admin user on the site (WordPress role ‘Administrator’) and visit one of these pages, I am presented with the message to log on.

Is it possible to allow unrestricted access for WP-admins without requiring a second login?

Even if I import my admin user into Simple Membership, giving it the membership level “member”, I am still presented with the message to log on.

Doesn’t really make sense, particularly as an admin, I can then directly edit the content that Simple Membership is blocking from view!

Many thanks in advance.

Hmm. Furthermore, when I then attempt to login using my admin credentials in order to see the protected content, the login is refused with a message from Simple Membership saying that my admin session would be ended if the login were to be allowed.

I if test this with a WP-user with the role “subscriber”, imported into Simple Membership with the level “member”, they can login successfully.

Is it just a problem with users with the WP role “admin”?

Importing the admin user into Simple Membership and logging out and in again solved the problem. Many thanks!
