I’ve actually done this before with a custom page template rather than with the visibility options … because both logged in and not logged in users ended up going to the same page. Here’s some pseudo-code (i.e. do not actually use the code, but it will give you an idea) $logged_in = is_user_logged_in(); switch($logged_in) { … Read more
