Title: Multiple Subscriptions / Exclude category Last modified: June 10, 2020 --- # Multiple Subscriptions / Exclude category * [wpblogwriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpblogwriter/) * (@wpblogwriter) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-subscriptions-exclude-category/) * Hello, I have now added the multiple subscription add-on and I was expecting to be able to configure easily the different subscriptions. – Free subscription: see all posts but not from category premium – Premium subscription: see all posts( including premium category posts) * This seems not to be possible. It looks like I have to add all categories I want into the free subscription and omit the premium category. This is really painfull as there are 50 categories and regularly new ones are added.. * An other option would be to create a new post type, but this demands also other changes on the theme which lead into a custom development.. * Any other way I may have not seen/understood correctly? * Thank you for some advice..

It requires to overwrite the default content access description. * Plugin Contributor [Jeremy Green](https://wordpress.org/support/users/endocreative/) * (@endocreative) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-subscriptions-exclude-category/#post-12966774) * Hello. We are working on an update to Leaky Paywall that will allow you to add exceptions to Access Rules. That will help with the configuration of the use case you described. * Thread Starter [wpblogwriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpblogwriter/) * (@wpblogwriter) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-subscriptions-exclude-category/#post-12966813) * Sounds good!

Z (This should solve the problem) * Best regards, WBW * [mbrowne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrowne/) * (@mbrowne) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-subscriptions-exclude-category/#post-13031705) * I encountered the same issue. Here’s a workaround I came up with in the meantime: * ``` add_filter('leaky_paywall_current_user_can_access', function($can_access) { if (!$can_access) { return false; } // *** Replace these with the real values for your site *** $PREMIUM_SUBSCRIPTION_LEVEL_ID = 1; $PREMIUM_SUBSCRIPTION_TAXONOMY_IDS = [5, 6]; $settings = get_leaky_paywall_settings(); $restrictions = new Leaky_Paywall_Restrictions(); $level_ids = leaky_paywall_subscriber_current_level_ids(); // Don't allow access to the premium taxonomies unless the user has // a premium subscription if (! in_array($PREMIUM_SUBSCRIPTION_LEVEL_ID, $level_ids) ) { foreach ($PREMIUM_SUBSCRIPTION_TAXONOMY_IDS as $id) { if ($restrictions->content_taxonomy_matches($id)) { return false; } } return $can_access; } }); ``` * [mbrowne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrowne/) * (@mbrowne) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-subscriptions-exclude-category/#post-13055614) * There was a mistake in what I posted above. The bottom part of the code should be as follows ($can_access after the `if` block). * ``` // Don't allow access to the premium taxonomies unless the user has // a premium subscription if (! in_array($PREMIUM_SUBSCRIPTION_LEVEL_ID, $level_ids) ) { foreach ($PREMIUM_SUBSCRIPTION_TAXONOMY_IDS as $id) { if ($restrictions->content_taxonomy_matches($id)) { return false; } } } return $can_access; ``` Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Multiple Subscriptions / Exclude category’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/leaky-paywall/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2910355) * [Leaky Paywall](https://wordpress.org/plugins/leaky-paywall/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/leaky-paywall/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/leaky-paywall/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/leaky-paywall/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/leaky-paywall/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/leaky-paywall/reviews/) * 6 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [mbrowne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrowne/) * Last activity: [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-subscriptions-exclude-category/#post-13055614) * Status: not resolved
