Pages Unprotected by Default (Not Appearing in Content Protection section in WishList Member)

If you are not seeing a page appear in the Content Protection > Pages section in WishList Member, it could be because that page is set as an Error page or Redirect page in WishList Member. Those pages are unprotected by default.

Below is a screenshot showing the Content Protection > Page section. You can bulk edit content using the options provided. But, if you aren’t seeing a page appear in this section, it’s likely because the page is set as a specific error page or redirect page in WishList Member.
