You would be better suited by allowing members to sign up on your site, then giving each uses level permissions to read different posts. A plugin like Members might work for this. But, if you really want to do what you asked, you’re going to have to do some javascript hacking or completely remove the … Read more
By removing the ADMIN SSL login in wp-config.php, I solved this. So, remove this: define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true); Read more about this feature here
Without a plugin something like this should work //functions.php function get_user_role() { global $current_user; $user_roles = $current_user->roles; $user_role = array_shift($user_roles); return $user_role; } //page template $role = get_user_role(); if($role == “subscriber”){ //cool you can see this } else { //sorry not allowed } A BETTER way would be to use something like the Members Plugins … Read more
According to the Content Visibility page, Private posts are visible only to those with sufficient permission levels. WordPress doesn’t expose them to non-logged-in users at all, hence (presumably) the 404. If you want to display a limited preview to non-members, instead of setting the post to Private, you could try something like this: add_filter( ‘the_content’, … Read more
I’ve not tested this, but you should be able to complete this task by placing the following code in your template above the loop. query_posts( array( ‘post_status’ => array( ‘published’, ‘private’ ) ) ); This should allow for published and private posts to be displayed in that template.
If you don’t want to use a plugin (or can’t find one that does what you’re needing), you might want to approach it this way: Add a custom meta box that allows you to mark the post as hidden. Modifying the query with pre_get_posts to remove the posts you’ve labeled as hidden from your site … Read more
A basic user login tracker is pretty trivial to implement. function track_user_login_wpse_100929($id,$user) { $tracking = get_user_meta($user->ID,’tracking_key_name’,true); $tracking[] = time(); update_user_meta($user->ID,’tracking_key_name’,$tracking); } add_action(‘wp_login’,’track_user_login_wpse_100929′,1,2); After that you just need to work out the details such as how long you are going to keep the history, what kind of reports you want to pull, that kind of thing.
The easiest php solution would be to make a download script. It checks if the user has the right permissions and serves the file to the webclient. Or my preference setup a folder outside your web root and put the files there. Set the file permissions with no anonymous access and let the webserver read … Read more
Authenticator, a plugin on github https://github.com/bueltge/Authenticator uses HTTP Auth by default to get the functionality equivalent to Members Only. It also has the ability to create a token to work the same way Feed Keys work.
We can use the protected_title_format and private_title_format filters, available since WordPress version 2.8: add_filter( ‘protected_title_format’, ‘wpse_pure_title’, 10, 2 ); add_filter( ‘private_title_format’, ‘wpse_pure_title’, 10, 2 ); function wpse_pure_title( $format, \WP_Post $post ) { return ‘mycpt’ === get_post_type( $post ) ? ‘%s’ : $format; } to get rid of the “Private:” and “Protected:” parts on the front-end … Read more
