re: My page at: http://www.treyburn-test.org/directory/ is the one set for the “Home” connections page. It has the following code:

You should only put the shortcode on the page once. Shortcode options go in one shortcode, not a second instance of the shortcode. With two shortcodes on the page you are displaying the directory twice, once with all entries and once where entries assigned to categories 3 and 5 are excluded.

re: And if you visit this page you will see that 1) it does not prompt you to log in and 2) it displays Categories 3 and 5 and all of them.

Three things…

  1. If you are logged into WordPress, you will see the directory. Please log out.
  2. I see that you are using W3TC, if you are logged out of WordPress and see the directory perhaps W3TC is serving the old cached version of the page prior to you enabling the require login.
  3. Triple check to ensure you have in fact have the require login option enabled.

Hope this helps, let me know.
