 * I would like to control all registration logins. That means I do not want strangers
   to be able to register, but I cannot seem to disable the registration form. I
   just want certain people to login and access content. Thank you!

 * I want that page to return a message saying, “admin access only” or something.
 * Thanks, 🙂

 * Hi [@impicus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/impicus/),
 * Apologies for the delay here.
 * I’m afraid that Membership 2 doesn’t have such option directly but there’s something
   you can do if you’re using custom registration form.
 * With Membership 2 you can create Guest membership, that will be applied to your
   visitors that are not registered on your site.
 * Now with that you can use protection shortcode and wrap your form so it’s not
   visible to visitors, it would look like this:
 *     ```
       [ms-protect-content id="XX"]
       /* This content will be unavailable to visitors */
       [/ms-protect-content]
       ```
   
 * Where XX is the Guest membership ID.
 * Cheers,
    Predrag
