 * Hi, I installed the free Membership 2 plugin and noticed that you can still access
   the protected pages if you know the link to the page. I was told by your support
   that this should not be happening. How can I stop it?

 * Hello [@katanna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/katanna/), I hope you are
   doing well today!
 * This should not happen. Please let us know what protection rules you have set
   up and what add-on you have activated.
 * Would you please share a link here to a page/post that should be protected ant
   it is not? yu can create a blank page a share it here.
 * Can you replicate the same when all the other plugins are deactivated? Deactivate
   ll other plugins, and test again. f everything is well, activate one plugin at
   a time to find the one that causes this.
 * Follow the flowchart from our Getting Support manual:
    [https://premium.wpmudev.org/manuals/using-wpmu-dev/getting-support/](https://premium.wpmudev.org/manuals/using-wpmu-dev/getting-support/)
 * Let us know how it went!
 * Cheers,
    Nastia

 * It is actually a post. Is it not possible to protect posts? I have set the tag
   it’s under as protected.

 * I’m not sure about “tags”, but go to membership2 -> addons and select the one
   called Individual Posts. Then you can set the post to protected.

 * Hello [@katanna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/katanna/), I hope all is
   well!
 * As [@demerit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/demerit/) has mentioned , it
   is possible to protect a post. Navigate to Membership 2 > Add-ons and activate
   the “Individual Posts” add-on or the “Individual Custom Posts” if you are using
   custom posts.
 * Once the add-on is activated, go to Membership 2 > Protection Rules > Posts tab,
   modify access to each post to protect your content. Please see the attached screenshot:
 * Let me know if you have any further questions!
 * Cheers,
    Nastia
