Can't affect individual pages on the same level with Advanced Permissions

Permalink
I have a page, which contains subpages that are made for each month of the year. They are archive pages for a blog, and I want to set it so that at the beginning of each month, the appropriate month blog archive page becomes available for viewing by guests.
I can affect the first page, and I can affect any of the sub pages, but when I set a timed release for any of the sub pages to be viewable, all of the sub pages receive the same properties, which would make all 12 months available for view at the same time as the first month.
I've attached screenshots of the sitemap structure, and of examples of the permissions.
Is this how it's supposed to work, or am I just doing something wrong?

This is something that would be nice to fix before the new year.

Any ideas?

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if this is the way that it's supposed to work.

Hi again DSW..

An example for instance if you have a registered user, make a group set for the user/s, say like your case January User. Add the user/s in that group.

Then on the parent page of your archive (say January) > sitemap > select parent page > permissions > and on the top drop down > select Manual Permission > clik OK.

Now click view > add the User Group "January User" and set the date and time for viewing availability.

Normally for a parent page, the sub pages would inherit the permissions. So it's good to check the sub pages which you want special time viewing too because of the inherit properties.

But for your case with lots of pages it's possible to create a sub-sub pages for pages with certain time views inside your directory and assign the same procedure like above without effecting related pages you do not require.

Luckily for the sitemap to drag and drop, it'll be fun but a bit of work though moving the pages in new sub-sub directory page within your archive...

Hope it helps.
