Hi @fastquestions
Thank you for reaching out.
The shop page is not a post type page, but an archive page.
Can you please select the Products Archive in the content settings?
Here’s an example setting:
https://share.getcloudapp.com/RBuBDJwG
Here’s a demo:
https://share.getcloudapp.com/7KujrWv8
Just a heads-up, our developers are currently working on improvements for Content Control, so there might be things to look forward in future updates.
Let us know how it goes, or if you have questions.
Hi Bel,
Thank you for the great response!
That makes sense. I switched the content setting to product archive like this: https://share.getcloudapp.com/v1uE8oKY
I also blocked the sample page just for the sake of comparison.
Surprisingly the /shop page is still visible while the sample page is correctly blocked:
https://amp.michaelmcdougald.com/shop/ – still not blocked
https://amp.michaelmcdougald.com/sample-page/ – correctly blocked
Maybe there is something else I’m still missing?

Hi @fastquestions
We can see the issue when we visited the shop page.
Here’s what we get:
https://share.getcloudapp.com/P8uNPbzj
We also checked the browser console using browser dev tools, but we did not find any errors related to Content Control.
The issue could probably on the restriction settings. Can you share a screen capture of your restriction settings? (General, Protection, and Content)
Have you also cleared the site caches after “updating” the restriction, and selecting the “save changes button”?
We look forward to your response.
Here are the screenshots of the restriction settings:
General: https://share.getcloudapp.com/4gu4pNr5
Protection: https://share.getcloudapp.com/xQuO8RwG
Content: https://share.getcloudapp.com/p9uLmeQQ
I can confirm changes were saved and caches are cleared.
I tested switching the restriction setting to “Redirect” and the good news is that worked perfectly. So the problem only persists when trying to use the custom message option.

Hi @fastquestions
Thank you for your reply.
We usually don’t have support hours over the weekend. So, we appreciate you holding tight.
We used the same setup as yours, and reproduced the issue when using a custom message as the protection.
We’ll ask our development team to have a look and get back to you.
In the meantime, can you create a restricted page, and set the protection to redirect? Kindly add the newly created restricted page.
Here’s an example setting:
https://share.getcloudapp.com/2Nu6O2gk
Here’s a demo:
https://share.getcloudapp.com/QwujZePy
Let us know how that goes.
On the other hand, our developers are currently working on improvements for Content Control, so there might be things to look forward in future updates.
Thank you!
Creating a restricted page and redirecting the /shop page to it works. Thanks!
