Check page/user access in PHP | ww.wp.xz.cn

I am trying to edit a menu to only show the pages the specific logged in user can see. I will need an IF statement comparing the access of the user with the access of the page. Do you have helpful functions/hooks to help with that?

Any insight into this? I can easily check what the user has access to by using get_user_meta on “_ca_level”, but not I’m not finding a direct way to tell what pages have what permissions using PHP.

Apologies for the delayed response here.

If you just need to check if a user has a specific level and show/hide some content, please see my response here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/restrict-product-attributes/#post-12125048

There is currently no way out-of-the-box to check if page A is retricted by level B, but if you only restrict specific posts/pages (ie. not by category etc.), please check my response here: https://github.com/intoxstudio/restrict-user-access/issues/19#issuecomment-370091227 (the API methods used might be slightly outdated)

I hope this helps!

Thank you, the second option is what I ended up going with. We are displaying menu items dynamically based on their login access. I ended up just doing a DB query. Glad I didn’t do all of that unnecessarily.
