I'm a bit confused. I've installed it, logged out and went to a page where guests aren't allowed to go. The only thing I see are the first 2 images as examples, but nothing like the third one. Nor can I see within your instructions to alter the custom message, as the "Guest Redirect System Lite" options only gives re-direct options rather than altering messages or code.

Even without the plugin, altering the message you get at the guest access denied page can easily be altered via the language phrases.

*EDIT:
I see what this plugin is about. Re-directing from and or using specific features. But it still doesn't explain how to alter the text. Would be great to share the info to the third screenshot to re-direct to the register/login page like yours.

Hi there,

We're sorry about the confusion. The third Image that you see is the Pro version and only that version allows you to edit wording. We'll modify our description to prevent confustion.

I took a look at the plugin and don't see why they wouldn't be able to simply edit the custom_gdirect template to modify the wording. That doesn't require the pro version to do.

They just need to modify this:


<h3 class="blocksubhead">Hello Guest,<br />You are currently viewing this page because you are not logged in or haven't registered yet. If you are already a member login below. If you aren't a member let me tell you about some of our great features you can enjoy as one!</h3>
<div class="blockrow restore">
<ol>
<li>All members get to interact within our community with others, send and receive private messages, create new topics for discussions, and answer others.</li>
<li>Registration is fast and free, only takes a few seconds so why not take the time and <a href="register.php?" target="_blank"><b>register now</b></a></li>

</ol>
</div>

I found 1 issue due to this addon

When someone click on reply to thread or Add new post on forum page without login
For example here if you click on "Reply to thread"
http://college-chat-rooms.gradchat.net/housing-%7C-during-school-employment-%7C-admissions/14-how-choose-graduate-school.html

then it will take you here
http://college-chat-rooms.gradchat.net/gdirect.php
And here if you add login info

Username: harry
Password: limalima

then it will give error
http://college-chat-rooms.gradchat.net/%7B$vbulletin-%3Eurl%7D

"Page not found"

But if you already logged in by entering username and password from login box and then click on Reply to thread then everything works fine.

I have found that this issue solved after disabling this addon
Guest Redirection System Professional



Now when I disabled this addon then it worked fine.

But for finding the error I had to disable all addons one by one and then enabled the addons. such as VBSEO,Guest Redirection System Professional

I first disabled all these addons and then enabled
Vbseo
Guest Redirection System Professional

But after this I found that my custom page is not shown
http://college-chat-rooms.gradchat.net/we-support.php

And this one also
http://college-chat-rooms.gradchat.net/sendmessage.php

I also get these errors in Suspect file version
