Protect Custom Fields

[websydaisy]

I have a protected page to which I am using Advanced Custom Fields to add various sections. Unfortunately those sections are showing to everyone; only the content from the main content editor is being protected. Is there any way to protect all of the content on the page?

Hi, try the following documentation. Let me know if this helps you.

This appears to be for Custom Post Types, not for Custom Fields?

[websydaisy]

Yeah, this does not do anything different for me than before. When I create my custom fields, there was already a place to to click the buttons to protect them — but on save, they go right back to “No, Do not protect this content.” being selected.

I need to protect Custom Fields, not Custom Post Types.

Looks like this question has come up before: https://simple-membership-plugin.com/forums/topic/protecting-advanced-custom-fields/

If there is no way to protect custom fields, I will have to abandon this and look for a different plugin. Unfortunately I already paid $40 for the Form Builder Add-on.

A LOT of people use Advanced Custom Fields. Surely there must be some way to make this work?

Hi, I have submitted a message to the plugin developers to investigate further your issue.

Kind regards

Thanks! So I am able to get partway there by putting this around the section that contains my custom fields:

<?php if(SwpmMemberUtils::is_member_logged_in()) { ?>
<?php } ?>

But since I have two different membership levels, I need to have it look to also make sure they are in a certain level. I am not great at figuring out php on my own — what can I add to this to have them also look to make sure they are in a certain level to display that content?

Hi Daisy,

I have a similar issue. Do you put that PHP code inline with your page content in WordPress, and if so, do you use a plugin to allow you to use PHP code in page content?

Thanks,

David 🙂

I put it in my page template where I call the custom fields. Like this:

<?php if(SwpmMemberUtils::is_member_logged_in()) { ?>
<?php the_field(‘my_custom_field’); ?>
<?php } ?>

Hi, did you check the following PHP tweaks document? There are a few tweaks you might be able to combine to get the results you are after.

Yes, that’s where I got the php I used to see if someone is logged in. And I see things telling me how to get the user’s membership level, but I don’t know how to make my conditional statement say IF they are in Level 2, for example, then show this. That does not appear to be addressed.

Hi, I just checked one of the plugins PHP file. This is what it says.

  if($permission->is_permitted($id)) {
            //This user's membership level has access to it. Show this post to this user.
            return true;
        } else {
            //User's level DOES NOT have access to this post.
            $text = SwpmUtils::_('This content is not permitted for your membership level.');
            $error_msg = '<div class="swpm-post-no-access-msg">'.$text.'</div>';
            $this->lastError = apply_filters ('swpm_restricted_post_msg', $error_msg);
            return false;
        }

Perhaps the above can put you in the right direction.

Hi again, I did not paste the full PHP code above. Please make sure you include the following at the top and there is another line at the end.

$permission = SwpmPermission::get_instance($auth->get('membership_level'));

So the full code would be as follow.

`//Check if this user’s membership level has access to this post
$permission = SwpmPermission::get_instance($auth->get(‘membership_level’));
if($permission->is_permitted($id)) {
//This user’s membership level has access to it. Show this post to this user.
return true;
} else {
//User’s level DOES NOT have access to this post.
$text = SwpmUtils::_(‘This content is not permitted for your membership level.’);
$error_msg = ‘<div class=”swpm-post-no-access-msg”>’.$text.'</div>’;
$this->lastError = apply_filters (‘swpm_restricted_post_msg’, $error_msg);
return false;
}

//All checks have passed. Show this post to the user.
return true;
}`

Regards
