For example, something like this: * ```wp-block-codeContent inside here would only be visible to active paid and active free subscribers.
Content inside here would display if the above condition is not met.
``` * Also, reading the sentence about “active paid and active free subscribers” are you sure you didn’t mean to use the rcp_user_has_active_membership function instead of rcp_user_has_paid_membership? * The rcp_user_has_paid_membership check would exclude active free subscribers. * Thread Starter [Chris Raymond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisraymond/) * (@chrisraymond) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricted-content-message-problem/#post-16518922) * Hi [@lelandf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lelandf/) – Thanks for the response, it’s much appreciated. Any idea why the custom message added within the Restrict content plugin is not displaying when using the php method? I don’t mind added a message via the template, but curious is something with my setup is affecting the plugins ability to render the text. Thanks again. * [lelandf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lelandf/) * (@lelandf) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricted-content-message-problem/#post-16518945) * Invoking the rcp_user_has_paid_membership function does not do anything other than return a boolean value: true or false. * If true, then execution within the conditional block continues. That’s when the“ Content inside here would only be visible […]” message displays. * In other words, the custom message was not displaying because the code as originally written did not include instructions for that particular task. * Thread Starter [Chris Raymond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisraymond/) * (@chrisraymond) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricted-content-message-problem/#post-16519196) * Makes sense now, thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. * Thread Starter [Chris Raymond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisraymond/) * (@chrisraymond) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricted-content-message-problem/#post-16521060) * [@lelandf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lelandf/) Just to be clear, our issue is that we need to show the restriction message which I set in the plugin settings for non paying users(visitors not logged in) * Which does automatically populate message to pay for full content if we use short code in a test post. But when using our short code in custom template it’s not working. That’s why we wrapped our block in this condition by using that ‘rcp_user_has_paid_membership()’ function. Using this code is working as our block is hidden for non-paying users. * Now the issue is that we need to show that message for non-payng users, is there is any function exists which can return the restriction message to which we set in plugin settings? * Or are we using the wrong function? If I am doing wrong then please let me know which function I need to use? Thanks again. * [lelandf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lelandf/) * (@lelandf) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricted-content-message-problem/#post-16521798) * You could consider simply typing the message out in the code, like in my first example. Saves a trip to the database, especially if the message is not going to ever change. * As for another function to dynamically retrieve the restricted content message, check out the rcp_get_restricted_content_message function. It’s in the core/includes/ misc-functions.php file if you want to read it in full. * It’s not wrong to not use it. It’s all about how exactly you want your site to behave. * Since it sounds like you do want to dynamically pull the message, the PHP implementation would be something like this: * ```wp-block-codeContent inside here would only be only visible to active paid subscribers.
``` * Functions are generally supposed to be single-purpose. So in this case, you’d just be using two functions: one to determine if the user has a paid membership, and one to display the restricted content message. * Thread Starter [Chris Raymond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisraymond/) * (@chrisraymond) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricted-content-message-problem/#post-16526503) * [@lelandf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lelandf/) Thanks for this, that worked perfectly.
