Restrict Access Question
Hi there,
I am trying to restrict access to a page on my site. I understand how restrict access with tags works. Currently, I have a user setup with a tag called "sot". I have a page restricted to "tot". I am unable to view the page, however, even though I have the tag.

Thank you, Trevor Brandt
The tags would need to be the same to allow access. If your page was restricted to
sotinstead, the user would be able to access it.I apologize, I mean to type sot. The tags are typed the same in my Perch panel.
Also, last evening I was unable to access the page regardless if the tag was present on the page and the user's account. Now, I'm able to access it no matter what.
What happens when you try to view the page?
Well, last night it redirected back to the login page I set in settings.
Now I can view the page regardless.

Some screenshots, if that helps. Not sure if it does.
So now it's working?
No, it lets anyone access the page regardless if there's a tag on the page or not.
What have you set the members login page path setting to?
/members/index.php?={returnURL}
My install is at /members and index.php is where the login is located.
I can't see why that shouldn't work.
I'm not sure either. It's odd, and I've tried to troubleshoot it but I don't understand what's up.
Also, I just tried it with a different tag. It's back to the way it was before-- cannot see the page, regardless if the tag is on the user or not.
You said the behaviour changed - what caused the change?
It changed when I was changing the tags around. When I just did it again, it went back to the way it was before.
I thought maybe it was me erroring and naming the tags differently, but I double checked.
So is there no pattern?
There doesn't seem to be.
Are sessions otherwise working normally?
Yep, they work fine! I'm able to login, logout, and view other member pages without tags.
Ok. I'm not really sure how to help as I've not got a clear grasp on what's going wrong.
