I installed the Protected pages module on a site a few weeks ago and everything seemed to be working fine. Just a few days ago though, the owner of the site called me, quite agitated, complaining that when he was logged in - other users could also see the protected content. Even users in another country!

I had hidden the "this is a protected page" with display:none; - could that be it? I'll try colouring it the same as the background.

Has anyone else encountered this, or have any ideas how I might fix it?

Thanks for your help.

Yep, this is a bug with the UserID module, in that the session is not being created.

You can work around this bug, by setting session.auto_start to 1 in the php.ini

It's already been fixed in feusers.

Thanks Calguy, I'll make that setting in the ini file.

What's feusers?

... means the FrontendUser module from here .

Cool, I'll have to try Frontend Users out. Thanks for your help.
