Tell the developers that hiding a full page is not the same as hiding a partial page section.

Also, it might be a good thing to update the Documentation since it’s misleading the way it is now.

I did a work around by replacing the Upload Form with a Link to a different page that now has the Upload Form.

I can now hide the Link along with the Comments Form.

Works perfectly.

I just want to hide one of several sections on my page.

Your documentation says:
If you want to protect/hide a section (or sections) of a post/page then you can do that using the Simple Membership Partial Protection addon.

This can be useful to create teaser content where the visitors can see part of a page content for free and the rest of the page is protected.

I just want to know how to physically place the shortcode to hide a section.

Better than a screen capture, go to the actual website page:
https://weisermemories.com/cms/photos/

The lower yellow box with the photo upload should not be displayed unless logged in.

It is a section with a column inside and the Elementor Pro Form Widget inside of that.

Here is a screenshot of the yellow box being edited, with it’s section, column and form widget on display:

I can’t find anyway to protect the section or just the Form Widget using your shortcode since it won’t allow me to place the shortcode anywhere that will work.

I sent you a screen shot with a .png file and now it’s being held for moderation?

That’s not a good explanation – I know that part.

What I can’t figure out is how to actually add the shortcode to a section – the only ones I can add to are text editors – there is no way to add any text to a section that doesn’t have text editor.

I even tried to put a text editor above the section with the first part of the shortcode and one below with the last part of the shortcode but that doesn’t work.

Also tried with a shortcode widget but no luck.

It seems I can’t “simply” add the shortcode to a section.

What am I missing?

If you know how, then please tell me.

Thanks for the response.

I don’t want to hide the whole page – I only want to hide the Elementor Pro Form Widget which is a small part of the page.

I put the Form Widget into a Section – how do I hide just a Section on a Page?

When I looked at the Documentation for it – the code to use is shown but not how to actually hide the section using the code.

I went to:
https://simple-membership-plugin.com/apply-partial-section-protection/

And found this:
Partial Protection for Anyone Who is Logged-in
If you want to just protect a section of a post or page for logged-in members (it doesn’t matter if the member’s account status is expired or not) then use the following shortcode:

[swpm_protected visible_to=”logged_in_users_only”]

Whatever content goes here is only visible to anyone who is logged-into the SWPM system as a user (doesn’t matter if his account is expired or not).

[/swpm_protected]

But nothing on how to actually use the code on a Section to hide it.

My issue is gone for now I’m closing this topic.

[Michael Gribbin]

I may have fixed the issue – I turned off all the plugins except Membership and the issue was still there – I looked in Members and there was only one that was registered – one of my testing aliases, so I deleted that tester and the problem stopped.

I’m playing around with seeing if a registered tester interferes with my being logged into WordPress, as myself.

If I don’t see anything go wrong I’ll mark this as resolved.

Otherwise I’ll be back if it shows up again.
