Stiggy

I setup a local demo version to see if I could pinpoint the problem (I had my theme and plugins all installed). I managed to get it to work using:

function my_forcelogin_whitelist( $whitelist ) {
  $whitelist[] = home_url( '/feed/' );
  $whitelist[] = home_url( '/?feed=rss2/' );
  return $whitelist;
}
add_filter('v_forcelogin_whitelist', 'my_forcelogin_whitelist', 10, 1);

I found I needed both / at the beginning and the end.

However on my live site it didn’t work, I kept playing around until I found that this worked:

function my_forcelogin_whitelist( $whitelist ) {
  $whitelist[] = site_url( 'feed' );
  $whitelist[] = site_url( '?feed=rss2' );

  return $whitelist;
}
add_filter('v_forcelogin_whitelist', 'my_forcelogin_whitelist', 10, 1);

I had to use site_url instead of home_url and also needed to remove the forward slashes. It now seems to be working as it should – thanks for all your help, it’s been really useful!
