@ouija There is now a topic called ‘Adding Metaboxes’ under the ‘Developing Add-Ons’

If there is anything that needs clarification, please reach out and I’d be happy to provide guidance and also update the documentation for everyone’s benefit.

Hi,

I apologize, we had an extra ) in the snippet. We’ll get that updated. Here is the corrected code

function nf_define_permission_level() {
  
  $allowed = \current_user_can("nf_subs");
  
  return $allowed;
};

Hi Gregg,

Thanks for the feedback, and I’m glad you like it.

I agree with you that it’s confusing. I was trying to stick with as much of WP’s core functionality and I haven’t yet found a way to exit as gracefully as I would like using a core hook. What I’ve done for now when it fails is erase the comment field and then hand control back to core so it fails there. I figured it is a good start since the comment spam robots wouldn’t really care about the message.

As I continue development, I’ll test out my own kill switch inside the plugin but I want to make sure that if I kill it there, I’m not leaving any unresolved issues elsewhere.
If it can exit without causing any other problems, I’ll be able to add a more user-friendly message.

The plugin updates should keep you posted on my progress but feel free to check in occasionally. Take care,
