How To Configure the WishList LMS Pages Tab

Important: Avoid changing these values on a live site with existing groups and membership pages. Such changes will alter the URLs for these pages, creating broken links throughout your website and causing issues with any external websites linking to these pages.

Unauthorized Access

Unauthorized visitors are users who, for instance, try to view content on your website without logging in or subscribing. By managing content access, you can control what these visitors see, or alternatively, whether they can stay on the page. This, in turn, helps you protect your valuable content and, moreover, encourages non-members to register or log in.

Redirect Unauthorized Visitors to a Specific URL

You can enable unauthorized redirection to redirect users to a specified page instead of displaying the standard unauthorized message.

This option includes several settings:

  • Redirect Method:
  • template_redirect (recommended)
  • init
  • send_headers

Note: The “template_redirect” option is selected by default. If the WishList LMS redirection conflicts with your WordPress theme, switching to the “init” option may resolve the issue.

  • Redirect Non-Singular Views: This option stops unauthorized members from seeing non-singular views. Specifically, these include blog, category, or archive pages. Furthermore, this restriction applies particularly if any post on those pages is protected.
  • URL to Direct Unauthorized Visitors: Visitors trying to access unauthorized content will, therefore, be redirected to this URL. If the page is on the same domain; you can use a slug for the page, for example: “/unauthorized/”.

You can use the

You are unauthorized to view this page.
shortcode on the selected unauthorized page. This is applicable if the URL points to a page on the same website.

Show an Excerpt

Enable the Show an excerpt to unauthorized visitors option to display an excerpt on protected pages for unauthorized visitors.

Here, you can choose one of the following options:

  • More Tag: This option displays only the content before the “Read More” tag on protected pages. It prompts unauthorized visitors to log in or subscribe. This allows them to view the full content;
  • Post Excerpt: This option allows users to preview the initial content of a post. Specifically, the default WordPress excerpt limit is 55 words; as a result, this gives a quick look before reading more.
  • Custom: This feature lets you adjust the number of characters displayed to unauthorized users. For instance, you can configure it to show 150 characters from the beginning of the content shown.

Choosing the “Custom” option enables you to manage the character count displayed to users. This offers more flexibility than the default 55-word post excerpt. Custom excerpts display plain text, with all HTML tags removed.

Show a Login Form

Select the Show a Login Form on Pages Containing Unauthorized Content option to show a login form on unauthorized content pages, prompting users to log in before accessing restricted material.

Edit the Default Unauthorized Message

To update the default message displayed to unauthorized visitors, click the “Default Unauthorized Message” link. Then, you will see the editor where you can change the message as needed. Hence, this allows you to customize the experience for visitors who do not have access.

Note: If no custom unauthorized message is set, all unauthorized users will see the default message. You can control unauthorized messages individually for each page, post, or custom post type.

Note: You do not need to add content to these pages. WishList LMS automatically adds relevant content to these pages.

Group and Membership Page Slugs

In WishList LMS, you can define slugs for your group pricing page and membership registration pages. Specifically, slugs are the part of a URL that identifies a particular page or post. For example, in these URLs:

  • https://yourdomain.com/register/basicmembership, “register” is the slug;
  • https://yourdomain.com/plans/lifetime, “plans” is the slug.

You can customize these default slugs to custom ones.

Group Pages Slug

The text you add to this field will replace the default slug for all your WishList LMS group pricing pages. Hence, if you enter “program” as your slug, and your group’s name is “Lifetime”, the group URL would be https://yourdomain.com/programme/lifetime.

Membership Pages Slug

Upon updating the settings, the WishList LMS will automatically create and configure the page for you.

Page create with auto create option

Note: Pages marked with an asterisk (*) are required and must be configured.

Assigning an Existing Custom Page as a Reserved Page

To select an alternative page, whether custom or existing, as the WishList LMS reserved page(s), follow these steps:

Group and Membership Page Slugs

  • https://yourdomain.com/register/basicmembership, “register” is the slug;
  • https://yourdomain.com/plans/lifetime, “plans” is the slug.

You can customize these default slugs to custom ones.

Group Pages Slug

The text you add to this field will replace the default slug for all your WishList LMS group pricing pages. Hence, if you enter “program” as your slug, and your group’s name is “Lifetime”, the group URL would be https://yourdomain.com/programme/lifetime.

In WishList LMS, you can define slugs for your group pricing page and membership registration pages. Specifically, slugs are the part of a URL that identifies a particular page or post. For example, in these URLs:

  • https://yourdomain.com/register/basicmembership, “register” is the slug;
  • https://yourdomain.com/plans/lifetime, “plans” is the slug.

You can customize these default slugs to custom ones.

Group Pages Slug

The text you add to this field will replace the default slug for all your WishList LMS group pricing pages. Hence, if you enter “program” as your slug, and your group’s name is “Lifetime”, the group URL would be https://yourdomain.com/programme/lifetime.

Group page slug

Membership Pages Slug

Similarly to Groups, the text you set here will become the slug for all your WishList LMS Membership Registration pages. If you set “subscribe” as a custom slug and name the membership “Gold”, the URL will become https://yourdomain.com/subscribe/gold/.

Membership page slug

Important: Avoid changing these values on a live site with existing groups and membership pages. Such changes will alter the URLs for these pages, creating broken links throughout your website and causing issues with any external websites linking to these pages.

Unauthorized Access

Unauthorized visitors are users who, for instance, try to view content on your website without logging in or subscribing.

This, in turn, helps you protect your valuable content and, moreover, encourages non-members to register or log in.

Redirect Unauthorized Visitors to a Specific URL

You can enable unauthorized redirection to redirect users to a specified page instead of displaying the standard unauthorized message.

Redirect unauthorized visitors

This option includes several settings:

  • Redirect Method:

Upon updating the settings, the WishList LMS will automatically create and configure the page for you.

Note: Pages marked with an asterisk (*) are required and must be configured.

Assigning an Existing Custom Page as a Reserved Page

To select an alternative page, whether custom or existing, as the WishList LMS reserved page(s), follow these steps:

  • Navigate to Dashboard > WishList LMS > Settings > Pages tab.
  • Proceed to the Reserved Pages section.
  • Click the WishList LMS Login Page drop-down menu. Select the existing page from your site that you wish to use as a login page.
Select an existing page as login page
  • Click the Update Options button at the bottom of the page to apply your selection.

Note: You do not need to add content to these pages. WishList LMS automatically adds relevant content to these pages.

Group and Membership Page Slugs

In WishList LMS, you can define slugs for your group pricing page and membership registration pages. Specifically, slugs are the part of a URL that identifies a particular page or post. For example, in these URLs:

  • https://yourdomain.com/register/basicmembership, “register” is the slug;
  • https://yourdomain.com/plans/lifetime, “plans” is the slug.

You can customize these default slugs to custom ones.

Group Pages Slug

The text you add to this field will replace the default slug for all your WishList LMS group pricing pages. Hence, if you enter “program” as your slug, and your group’s name is “Lifetime”, the group URL would be https://yourdomain.com/programme/lifetime.

Membership Pages Slug

Similarly to Groups, the text you set here will become the slug for all your WishList LMS Membership Registration pages. If you set “subscribe” as a custom slug and name the membership “Gold”, the URL will become https://yourdomain.com/subscribe/gold/.

Membership page slug

Important: Avoid changing these values on a live site with existing groups and membership pages. Such changes will alter the URLs for these pages, creating broken links throughout your website and causing issues with any external websites linking to these pages.

Unauthorized Access

Unauthorized visitors are users who, for instance, try to view content on your website without logging in or subscribing. By managing content access, you can control what these visitors see, or alternatively, whether they can stay on the page. This, in turn, helps you protect your valuable content and, moreover, encourages non-members to register or log in.

Redirect Unauthorized Visitors to a Specific URL

You can enable unauthorized redirection to redirect users to a specified page instead of displaying the standard unauthorized message.

Redirect unauthorized visitors

This option includes several settings:

  • Redirect Method:
  • template_redirect (recommended)
  • init
  • send_headers
Redirect method

Note: The “template_redirect” option is selected by default. If the WishList LMS redirection conflicts with your WordPress theme, switching to the “init” option may resolve the issue.

  • Redirect Non-Singular Views: This option stops unauthorized members from seeing non-singular views. Specifically, these include blog, category, or archive pages. Furthermore, this restriction applies particularly if any post on those pages is protected.

  • URL to Direct Unauthorized Visitors: Visitors trying to access unauthorized content will, therefore, be redirected to this URL. If the page is on the same domain; you can use a slug for the page, for example: “/unauthorized/”.

  • Post Excerpt: This option allows users to preview the initial content of a post. Specifically, the default WordPress excerpt limit is 55 words; as a result, this gives a quick look before reading more.
  • Custom: This feature lets you adjust the number of characters displayed to unauthorized users. For instance, you can configure it to show 150 characters from the beginning of the content shown.

Choosing the “Custom” option enables you to manage the character count displayed to users. This offers more flexibility than the default 55-word post excerpt. Custom excerpts display plain text, with all HTML tags removed.
