    I looked at your screenshot, and that’s what I did and got it to work, BUT you need to set these on every post/page, which would be OK if there was a way to bulk set these or make them the default. (The user would still see the menu, which might not be too cool)
    However, I think I have a solution!
    It’s not a member plugin, but a network security plugin. Check out this post.
    This seems like such a basic feature of WPMS that it should just be a standard feature???
    I’d love to hear your comment, and I really appreciate your help.

    Yes, I checked the box “Redirect all logged-out users to the login page before allowing them to view the site.”
    BUT, they are showing as logged in to that site. I thought you had it with your first response that they’re a default network subscriber and that’s why they show as logged in.

    I loved your solution, but it didn’t work 🙁

    • I modified the capabilities for the subscriber role on each of the sites I want to protect unchecking the only box checked for that role READ.
    • I then logged in with an account with the subscriber role. It let me view the site.
    • I then created a new account but didn’t register them for any of the protected sites. Same results.

      • D I have to get into the php templates? That seems very complicated.
      PS I am using the members plugin you noted.

    Thanks Mike. I did try the “members” plugin, but I can’t get it to work.

    • I can see how you can restrict access to anyone not logged in, but they are logged into the network.
    • I can set up a new role and use content permissions on each post, but then I have to do this on every post, and I don’t see a way to make this a default
    • I tried setting up a role called cantread and turned off the read capability for that role. That didn’t work either, but maybe if I change the page.php?

    All this seems too complicated!
    Is there a plugin specific to WP MS or something simple that I’m just blind to here?
