Disallow non-members to post comments on protected pages

[uNeedStuff]

Hi I just finished reading this thread:

https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/protect-all-comments-in-post

It sounds like if a page is protected, and you have set eMember to protect comments along with content, a non-member shouldn’t see the comment box on a protected page, but still be able to comment on non-protected pages.

That is not happening.

Am I miss understanding the setting?

Thanks.

The comments are considered *content* so it is protected by default if the page or post is protected (you can override this from the settings).

Now, the ability to post comment (the comment form) is NOT considered *content* so the section is open by default. However, you can chose to make it so only your members can leave comment by checking the following option in eMember settings:

Members Must be Logged in to Comment

When you enable this option only your logged in members will be able to leave a comment.

The default settings are set to what *most* users prefer when setting up a membership site (you can tweak the settings to what you like).
