How do I make a space members-only?

[deleted] 2 months ago Resolved

I want one space visible only to approved volunteers. I see visibility and join-policy settings — which combination gives me an approval-gated private space?

This is expected behavior, not a bug. The guard you are hitting is intentional — it protects against a class of mistakes that used to cause data loss.

If you need the other behavior, there is a documented filter you can hook to override it per site.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.
