404 Page Instead of Redirect Broken

Hello @bdbolin

The Would you like to display 404 page when users haven’t access? (Would you like to display 404 error on the term’s archive page and terms’ posts single pages when users haven’t access?) setting has greater priority than the What happens when users without access try to view the post? (What happens when users without access try to view the term’s post?) setting. Redirect does not work if the page returns the HTTP 404 Not Found response status code.

Please verify that:

• the page’s “Would you like to display 404 page when users haven’t access?” setting is turned off.
• the page is not a child page of the parent page with the “Would you like to display 404 page when users haven’t access?” setting turned on.
• the page does not have terms with the “Would you like to display 404 error on the term’s archive page and terms’ posts single pages when users haven’t access?” setting turned on.

Please also verify that the page is not cached.

Regards

Maybe you use a taxonomy based permalink structure and the site can not parse a link properly. Verify the “Permalink structure” setting on wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks.

Can you access the post if the Content Restriction feature is disabled? Please do a test – add two taxonomies without content restriction (the Restrict access to this term and its posts? setting is turned off) to the post and try to access this post.

I can not reproduce this issue on my testing site. A link to the post with two terms with content restriction redirects, not displays 404. See images with my settings:

• image 01 – post settings
• image 02 – the first term restriction settings
• image 03 – the second term restriction settings
• image 04 – HTTP response

Are your settings different from those shown in my example? Could you take similar screenshots and share images with a reputable image-sharing service for screenshots?
