ParticipantThanks for the reply. As far as the links you sent, I already have the configuration you gave for Lightspeed Cache set up. That’s been set up for nearly a year.
For the support post you link to, “If the category itself is protected, then the post cannot be unprotected unless the category protection is removed. To make that post accessible, you would need to move it into a category that is not protected.” – This is exactly what’s not happening. For example:
Category A is not protected.
Category B is protected.
I publish a post in Category B. It’s protected correctly.
X days later my “PublishPress Future” plugin removes the post from category B and replaces it with Category A.By this sequence, the post should now be un-protected. However, as I mentioned in my first post, the radio buttons inside the post (if I go to edit it) show “protect this post” as still selected. So, I’m still unsure how the post is remaining protected if its category is replaced to a non-protected one.

ParticipantSo I did some digging and the page ID it’s going to is one I’ve since changed into a Draft status and placed a different page with the same URL in its place. For whatever reason, the membership plugin is going to the page by ID number and not URL. It’s not respecting the URL structure at all and looks almost as if the page ID is hard coded into the setting. I can’t find any way to change that though, which is a problem.
I was able to build a “fix” by publishing that draft page and setting a 301 redirect within my functions.php. It’s far from ideal, but it gets me working.
