Groups 404 Redirect

I know this plugin hasn't been updated in a couple years, but IMHO Groups and its related plugins (like this one) are a hidden gem for WordPress sites. So many people jump to complicated membership plugins when they could do everything they need with Groups. This 404 redirect add-on works like a charm. I'm using it on the latest version of WP 5.x

Perfect.

Redirect 404's when a visitor tries to access a page protected by Groups.

<h4>Built-In Protected Members Only Content</h4>
<p>What is Members Only Content, Members Only content allows you to create special content that only your members can see.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>all post in the members-only content area is protected.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Only if a user is logged in they will be able to access, the default access level is a subscriber for all content in the “members-only content” section.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>members-only content does not affect shortcode content restrictions, this feature allows for full content protection.</p>
</blockquote>

</ul>
<ol>
<li>Create a Post or Page or protect existing content.</li>
<li>Place the shortcodes around the content you wish to protect.</li>
</ol>
<p>New Shortcode Options Use With Options</p>
<ul>
<li>display=”Custom text” change the message for none logged in user (default: You Must be Logged in to view this content)</li>
<li>linkto=”/wp-admin/” Link to a specific page, recommended usage would be to use /wp-admin/ without http://www this is very good practice in case if you are using SSL or custom subdomain, Note that this will also disable Auto redirect (default: WordPress Login Page)</li>
<li>linktext=”Click Here” change the text for the link (default: Register or Login Here)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Example Shortcodes</h4>
<pre><code>[membersonly]
Premium Content Here

<pre><code>[membersonly display="Login To Download" linkto="/wp-admin/" linktext="Login Here"] protected content here [/membersonly] 
</code></pre>
<p>the user will then have to be logged in to view.</p>
