So here’s what we’re trying to do: IF A user logs in and is of a specific role ( Subscriber ) then redirect them to a specific page. IF A user tries to reach the admin panel, redirect them to a specific page. We’re going to use 3 hooks for the above problems: login_redirect – … Read more
You were pretty close. You just want to hook in at the right time when the comment is being saved. This is untested but should work. add_action( ‘comment_post’, ‘wpse_make_private_after_3_comments’, 10, 2 ); function wpse_make_private_after_3_comments( $comment_ID, $comment_approved ) { $comment = get_comment( $comment_ID ); $post_ID = $comment->comment_post_ID; $comments = wp_count_comments( $post_ID ); // You could also … Read more
If you are setting the CPT to private, that is telling wordpress not to create the dynamic page for that post type. This includes using the single-CPT.php file. If you want to have “?post_type=” pages, you’ll need to set the cpt to publicly_queryable=true, or public=true (which includes publicly_queryable). Why do you want it private (aka … Read more
You can actually hook the built-in page/post password feature and set it up to check for url params that match page/post password, and then change the value of $required to false. add_filter( ‘post_password_required’, ‘my_allow_url_param’, 10, 2 ); function my_allow_url_param( $required, $post ) { if ( empty( $post->post_password ) ) { $required = false; return $required; … Read more
List Category Posts plugin uses get_posts to actually get the posts and its default post_status is publish and that is way you won’t get any private posts. To “Fix” it you can edit the file named include/CatList.php of the plugin and add $lcp_query .= ‘&post_status=private’; before line 51 before $this->lcp_categories_posts = get_posts($lcp_query); this will get … Read more
If your on a company intranet it might be easier/more secure to just whitelist a few IP’s and deny access to everything else, you can do that with apache config or .htaccess. Otherwise you will have to get people to login and then you can use a plugin like “Members Only”, there are several of … Read more
This is the default WordPress behavior. http://codex.wordpress.org/Content_Visibility#Private_Content Private posts are automatically published but not visible to anyone but those with the appropriate permission levels (Editor or Administrator). WARNING: If your site has multiple editors or administrators, they will be able to see your protected and private posts in the Edit panel. If you want to … Read more
I’ve faced similar situations (say a client wants to see how a custom post type and/or taxonomy behaves before they’re ready for the general public to see it). In those cases I’ll use something like the following code snippet, added either to the plugin file (assuming I’ve built the CPT/taxonomy as a plugin) or directly … Read more
I would probably create a custom field / check box for this for a draft stage. Then hook into post status transition (or around) and when post is published force it to only private, even if normal publish was pressed. From personal experience custom post statuses are a wreck. They seem like a good idea, … Read more
You can simply check if the user has an specific role, and redirect them to homepage if they try to access the admin panel. function redirect_to_front(){ // Check if we are on the admin panel, and the user is not an admin if( is_admin() && !current_user_can( ‘administrator’ ) ){ // Redirect them back to front … Read more
