Blocking custom post types

Hi Chad

Thanks for writing this post.., exactly what I lokked for…

However I can’t get it to do the trick. I’ve put the code-snippet in the bottom of the functions.php in my themes rootfolder… Changed it to this:

// BLOCK FAQ PAGES

add_filter( ‘wpmem_block’, ‘block_custom_post_type’ );
function block_custom_post_type( $block )
{
if( get_post_type( $post->ID ) == ‘faq’ ) {
$is_faq = false;
} else {
$is_faq = true;
}

if( is_single() && $is_faq ) {
return false;
}

return;
}

in order to block faq elements (faq-plugin: Arconix FAQ)

They are however not blocked, and the rest of my blocked posts/pages ar opened instead.

Is it me..??

Best,

Morten Balle

i have the same problem 🙁

Hi Chad,

Is there any way this can be adapted to work with Advanced Custom Fields plugin?

Love WP-Members thank you!

Cheers

David

What about the opposite?

I have wp members blocking posts by default but on some custom post types I want all the posts unblocked.

Right now I have the landing-pages plugin installed and running but the the wp-members login shows up on every landing page.

add_filter( ‘wpmem_block’, ‘block_custom_post_type’ );
function block_custom_post_type( $block )
{
if( get_post_type( $post->ID ) == ‘landing-page’ ) {
$is_books = true;
} else {
$is_books = false;
}

if( is_single() && $is_landing-page ) {
return true;
}

return;
}

What needs to be changed to have every post of this custom post type unblocked?

Figured it out…    what about it there are 2 custom post types?

add_filter( ‘wpmem_block’, ‘block_custom_post_type’ );
function block_custom_post_type( $block )
{
if( get_post_type( $post->ID ) == ‘landing-page’ ) {
$is_books = true;
} else {
$is_books = false;
}

if( is_single() && $is_landing-page ) {
return false;
}

return;
}

Yes the body of every landing page had the login dialog

Other weird thing was in the code…   I added the following to my functions.php of my child theme in pagelines.com framework… and it works, the dialog is no longer displayed…

eg. http://www.fullcontactsites.com/go/blogging-secrets/

add_filter( ‘wpmem_block’, ‘block_custom_post_type’ );
function block_custom_post_type( $block )
{
if( get_post_type( $post->ID ) == ‘landing-page’ ) {
$is_books = true;
} else {
$is_books = false;
}

if( is_single() && $is_landing-page ) {
return false;
}

return;
}

But if I change the above code where is reads $is_books   to $is_landing-page  the functions.php file won’t close and WordPress hangs with a white screen.

???? Don’t know why does it matter?

After I go this working.. I noticed that wp-members is NOT blocking any posts now ????

So the landing pages plugin, is a custom post type and I understand that wp-members isn’t supposed to add the login dialog… but it does.

I added the filter to not block the landing page type and that worked… but then every post was unblocked.

Here’s what I’ve added to functions.php
add_filter( ‘wpmem_block’, ‘block_custom_post_type’ );
function block_custom_post_type( $block )
{
if( get_post_type( $post->ID ) == ‘landing_page’ ) {
$is_landing_page = true;
} else {
$is_landing_page = false;
}

if( is_single() && $is_landing_page ) {
return false;
}

return;
}
Suggestions?

Think I figured it out… Don’t need the filter.  Pagelines is the theme that I’m using and it adds a “content” section to every post.  I had to create a template for “landing Pages” and disable the content section.

I’m stumped..

I added the filter to the pagelines child theme functions.php file

add_filter( ‘wpmem_block’, ‘block_custom_post_type’ );
function block_custom_post_type( $block )
{
if( get_post_type( $post->ID ) == ‘landing-page’ ) {
$is_landing_page = true;
} else {
$is_landing_page = false;
}

if( is_single() && $is_landing_page ) {
return false;
}

return$block;
}

I removed the “loop section and content section” out of the landing pages template and the wp-members login dialog is still showing up – argh.http://fullcontactsites.com/go/blogging-secrets/

Any other suggestions?

I had it deactivated hang try now…

Chad,

I have confirmed that:

return $block;

is required. Figured it out after spending several hours trying to figure out why none of my pages or posts were blocked. After a few hours of banging my head against the desk, I decided to come back here and read the entire set of comments. . .

Any chance you can fix the code example in the original post so others don’t go through this same ordeal?

Hi

I tried the above code (the name of the custom post type is “wholesaler_specials”, so that is where the “books” is), but the WP-Members Meta box does not appear on the editor page.

I’m using the amazing Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Posts UI plugins to create the custom post type ( that also will use some custom fields which all work fine). I don’t have any of the editor parts hidden.

Is there something we have to do to have the “WP-Members meta box show up on the editor page of a custom post type? Shouldn’t there be another filter or hook to allow this?

thanks

Hey Chad

Actually in this case blocking the custom posts is what I want. I was just expecting the meta box like in the posts.

Hi,
I’ve added code to my functions.php and I’ve blocked WooCommerce products as my clients wants to hide product details from not registered users. Form shows but below content. Content is still visible. How can I fix this?

I want to block 5 posts types. I can’t seems to get it to work! How can I do multiple with this code example?

I can’t seem to get this to work. Please take a look below (any help is greatly appreciated) I have shared the code that works for ONE CUSTOM POST TYPE (newsoct). Below is the code I created from the example above for more than one custom post type and it breaks the functions.php with a parse error:

That did the trick. Thank you so much for your timely response!
