Shortcode that inherits role restriction
-
I have a site built with Beaver Builder. And we have a downloads area on some posts. Those files are attached with ACF. If we restrict the post to “members”, anyone can still download the file as it is outside of the post content in the template.
And while we could use members_access or other shortcodes, it would be great to just be able to wrap non post content areas in something that follows post role restrictions. Any advice?

Yeah, no. I ended up with this which uses the plugin’s function members_can_current_user_view_post.
/** * Shortcode to conditionally display content based on Members plugin permissions. * * @param array $atts Shortcode attributes. * @param string|null $content Content inside the shortcode. * @return string Content if the user has permission, otherwise an empty string. */ function conditional_members_content_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) { // Get the current post ID. $post_id = get_the_ID(); // Check if the current user can view the post. if ( members_can_current_user_view_post( $post_id ) ) { // Return the content if the user has permission. return do_shortcode( $content ); } else { // Optionally, return nothing or a message for users who don't have permission. return ''; } } // Register the shortcode add_shortcode( 'conditional_members_content', 'conditional_members_content_shortcode' );And then I wrap my download box with [conditional_members_content][/conditional_members_content]. And it knows whatever role can see the content.
But thanks anyways, brotendo!
