Title: RSS Not Protected Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # RSS Not Protected * [jordan8201](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordan8201/) * (@jordan8201) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/) * I have “RSS” under “Protect Alternative Views” checked, but the RSS feeds are still not protected. I am able to read the full articles in feedly. Am I missing something? * Thanks. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/page/2/?output_format=md) * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354784) * It sounds like you have a plugin conflict. Try deactivating all others and see if the problem disappears. If it does, turn them back on by one one until it reappears: then you have the culprit. * Thread Starter [jordan8201](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordan8201/) * (@jordan8201) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354806) * I just deactivated all plugins except S2, and the problem is still there. Any other ideas? * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354851) * Next two would be: * 1. With all the other plugins still deactivated, switch to the 2014 theme. Is the problem still there? * If no, your theme is the issue. If yes: * 2. Are you or your host running some caching module, whether inside or outside of WordPress? * Thread Starter [jordan8201](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordan8201/) * (@jordan8201) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354878) * Thanks. Do you have an example of a page where the RSS feed is being protected? I’d like to see how it’s supposed to work. * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354883) * I just get this message: * `This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.` * And then there’s a short bit of code which goes nowhere. * Thread Starter [jordan8201](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordan8201/) * (@jordan8201) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354885) * I don’t understand your message. * When I go to feedly.com (my rss reader of choice) when I’m not logged in, and click “Start Reading,” then type my blog address in the search field ([http://www.theflamingtorch.org/articles/](http://www.theflamingtorch.org/articles/)), I see all the articles, even those that are protected. * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354888) * Oh, I thought you meant how it showed on the site itself. * On feedly.com, I get: “Sorry. No feed found. Please try searching for another url, title or #topic.” * [gulfsprite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gulfsprite/) * (@gulfsprite) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354930) * I just checked my site feed. I had one item showing up in Feedly. I checked that post to find the s2member level option box was left blank. I changed it to Level 0 and now it is protected. Although it does still show up I believe that is due to cache and that it will cycle back out over time. I also set my feeds to only show summaries and use the more tag on every post as well so that even if they do show up they only get a title and a small snippet of content before the get the read more link. You may have to change them all and then wait a bit for it to cycle through the cache. * Thread Starter [jordan8201](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordan8201/) * (@jordan8201) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354961) * Thanks for the advice. I changed the settings under settings>reading to summary, so hopefully that will help. Currently even the posts that I have protected are showing up and able to be read fully in the feed. * If I visit feedly.com and search for my blog page, I can read every article, even those protected. If I go to the site itself, I can’t read the articles without being logged in. * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354962) * How are you protecting your content? * Thread Starter [jordan8201](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordan8201/) * (@jordan8201) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354976) * The posts are listed under “Posts That Require Level 1 Or Higher.” * Under “Alternative View Protection,” I also have “Feeds” ticked. * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354978) * Under “Alternative View Protection,” do you have just “Feeds” ticked, or “All”? * Thread Starter [jordan8201](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordan8201/) * (@jordan8201) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354979) * Currently just “Feeds.” I tried ticking all, but then the summaries disappeared from my home page, and I want them there. But I don’t want the full article to be able to be read if someone isn’t subscribed. * [KTS915](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kts915/) * (@kts915) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354980) * Well, there was a thread a while ago where we discovered that checking “All” apparently does more than each of the sub-items put together. * If you can’t do that, though, then what I’d suggest is trying URI Restrictions. I presume that all your feeds have ‘/feed’ (or something similar) in the onsite URL (which is what I was giving you the output of earlier in the thread). * I would try putting that into the URI Restrictions box for level 1. * Thread Starter [jordan8201](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordan8201/) * (@jordan8201) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-not-protected/#post-5354981) * The blog page is [http://theflamingtorch.org/articles](http://theflamingtorch.org/articles). That lists summaries of all (even protected) articles. When I search for that in Feedly, I’m seeing the full posts. I’m not using the /feed, just the blog page to read the articles in Feedly.
