FAQ

What happens when user is assigned more than one whitelist?

Whitelists are additive – every user has access to all pages in all whitelists they’re assigned to. ‘Strict’ whitelists have priority – once a user is assigned to a whitelist that disables creation of new pages, they are not allowed to do so (even if other whitelists are ‘non-strict’).

I set up Page Whitelists, but my users still can’t access Pages. What’s happening?

This is most likely caused by a missing capability ‘edit-pages’. Page Whitelists is substractive, so the user must have access to all pages first. This can happen if you previously used another access manager, especially Role Scoper, and it didn’t reset the capabilities properly when uninstalling.
You can fix that easily with any plugin that can edit user roles (for example User Role Editor).

Advanced: I need the most recent code of this plugin. Where can I find it?

Github: https://github.com/corvidism/page-whitelists Like many other WP plugin developers, I primarily use git for versioning, so this is the most recent version of the plugin. If you ever wanted to make modifications to the code, I recommend using files from the Github repo.
