@SatoshiCamp The header is loaded once, and if you navigate between pages, the header is not loaded again.
So it looks like you'll want to use a client-side solution for this.
Restrict guest access to forum
-
Hi,
I would like to restrict guests so they cannot sign up to the forum without having a valid membership.
I have removed all the ticks from the guest privileges but I just tested it myself and I can still sign up and view everything as a guest.
How do I avoid this from happening please?

@scottalanmiller Via memberpress.
I guess the issue is that, I would like to stops guests from being able to sign up and access the forum content.
How would that be possible please?
Or maybe set the forum up so no-one can get access without admin approval.

You can disable registration and remove privileges from guests in the ACP

@PitaJ Thanks. Removing privileges didn't seem to do much as I tried signing up as guest and could still access everything.
If I change registration to "admin approval" does that mean that no one can sign up and access the forum content before they have been approved?

@Rasmus Can you send us a screenshot of the privilege table for a category of your choosing? Removing the viewing privileges from guests will cause the category to no longer show up on the index (nor will it be accessible).
Untick these three:

@julian Sure. https://www.screencast.com/t/WkrLK1g1
It is in German but you get the idea:)

Did you do that for every category?
-
@PitaJ Yes I have removed all guest privileges.

signing up as guest
I think this might be the crux of your problem. You can't sign up as a guest, you're a guest when you don't log in.
