Fiddling with user roles would probably be the most robust solution, however a quick and dirty approach would be to set post meta-data to mark posts that should be hidden, then add a meta-query to post queries by using a pre_get_posts hook in order to restrict results to non-hidden posts for non-logged-in users. The following … Read more
You alluded to this in your comments, one way is to provide an API key for your plugin, that way your clients are actually paying for support and updates and not code, it’s really one of the only decent ways to go about this. For example if their API key is not valid or expires … Read more
You can do this pretty easily with a shortcode. Hook into init and add the shortcode in your hooked function. <?php add_action(‘init’, ‘wpse57819_add_shortcode’); /** * Adds the shortcode * * @uses add_shortcode * @return null */ function wpse57819_add_shortcode() { add_shortcode(‘restricted’, ‘wpse57819_shortcode_cb’); } Then in your callback function, you can check to see if the user … Read more
I had coded something like this a while back and i remember wanting to upload it to the plugin repository but never had the time, Basically it adds a meta box to the post or page edit screen and lets the user select specific users by name or roles and then it check using the_content … Read more
Through a lot more research and some trial and error, I figured out the correct code to use that will restrict a post from being edited based on the user ID AND a custom meta field. $user = get_current_user_id(); $super_users = array(1); The first two pieces of code within the function are important for restricting … Read more
Yes, pre_get_posts runs for REST API requests. Your issue is likely that your request is not properly authenticated, so $user_ID is not set. To allow the REST API to recognise the logged-in user you need to send the wp_rest nonce with the request. You can create this with wp_create_nonce( ‘wp_rest’ ) and send it with … Read more
You should be able to get the current logged in user ID and then use pre_get_posts to alter the main query on the home/blog page to only show posts from that specific user. As I understand, you are talking specifically about authors. You might want to also check the user’s capabilities as well as simple … Read more
What about considering a specific template that tests to see if the user is logged in using something like: if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { // your code for logged in user } else { // your code for logged out user (e.g. a “you must be logged in” message) } You could go so far … Read more
I did something similar recently. 1. If the user is not logged in I captured the desired/destination page’s URL and added it as a query arg to the login page’s URL. 2. Redirect the user to the login page. function wpa_59205_redirect(){ global $post; if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // this will tack on the … Read more
You have to change: ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, To: ‘post_type’ => ‘your_custom_post_type_name’, And a all the reference to standard post. Also, you should add the filters only for main query or you can end up with issues in secondary queries. Bellow an example code for gallery custom post type. I was trying to debug the code … Read more
