Choose what blocked visitors see

Step 4 What everyone else gets of a rule decides what a stopped visitor sees: a message where the content was, a redirect somewhere else, or (Pro) another page shown in its place.

A message where the content was

The page still opens, with your text instead of the content. The visitor understands what happened and the address keeps working.

• Type your text in the box under the option. Simple formatting and links are allowed.
• If you leave the box empty, the Default message from Settings is used.
• If that is empty too, visitors read This content is reserved.

The page title and your theme stay visible; only the content is replaced. The plugin also tells search engines not to index the blocked page.

A redirect somewhere else

The page never opens and the visitor is sent elsewhere. Pick one of:

• To the login page, and back here afterwards: after logging in, the visitor returns to the page. A visitor who is already logged in but does not qualify (for example the wrong role) is not sent to the login page, which would send them straight back: they see the rule message instead.
• To the home page.
• To an address I choose: type the full address, starting with https://, in the box next to it.

Another page, shown in its place (Pro)

Instead of a line of text, the visitor sees the content of another page of your site, with its own layout, a form or a call to action.

1. Create and publish the page you want to show (for example Become a reseller).
2. In the rule, choose Another page, shown in its place.
3. Pick that page in the drop-down list below (it starts on Pick a page).
4. Click Save rule.

The replacement page must be published. If it is not, the message is shown instead. Without a licence, this option falls back to the message.
