WP Private Content Plus

I wanted to do one thing -- have pages available only to users who are logged in. Selecting visibility="Members" does nothing. I tried also adding a redirect to the login page. Still no effect.

On the bright side, the functionality to hide an attachment from non-members, does seem to work.

Doesn't seem to work on pages
