Replace the default login and registration forms with buttons

Chad Butler · Feb 2, 2015 ·

login_reg_buttons A frequent question that I receive is how to replace the plugin’s default process of placing the login and registration forms with a process that takes the user to a login page (and/or registration page).

I’ve put together a code snippet that you can use as-is, or customize as needed in order to create a process that displays buttons that direct to a login page and registration page. If you look at the screen shot to the left, you’ll see what this process will produce. The example shows a post with an excerpt using the Twenty Fourteen theme.

The example provides the code snippet (which you can customize) as well as some initial CSS (which you can also customize) and will explain the process used to implement this change. Continue Reading →

Restrict a post or a page to a specific user role – multiple select version

Chad Butler · Jan 7, 2015 ·

Similar to how we took the post/page restriction for specific users to a multiple select version, this post takes the restrict content by role idea and expands it to a multiple select version.

This is an extension of the ideas presented in the tutorial Restrict Content by Role with the twist that this version makes some minor changes to incorporate an HTML multi-select for selecting multiple roles for access to content.

The differences between these two code snippets is minimal, so I won’t actually repeat the concept in this post. But you should read the original version to get an understanding of what is being done and how it works. This post will just highlight what’s different. Continue Reading →

Restrict a post or a page to a specific user role

Chad Butler · Nov 11, 2014 ·

In the past, I have put up posts about restricting content to a created user “level,” restricting content to a specific user, etc. Interestingly, we have not yet touched on the subject of restricting content by user role.

The method used here is very similar to what was done to restrict a post or a page to a specific user. In fact, that code was my starting point – it really took some minor changes. So I’ll primarily focus on what is different.

Restrict content by user level

Chad Butler · May 16, 2014 ·

I have written code snippets before on how to restrict content by user level, but that particular code snippet is based on using categories as the user levels, with higher level users still being able to access lower level content. For example, Silver, Gold, and Platinum level users having access or not to categories of the same name.

But what if you have content that you need to block by level that is not necessarily in a category? Or what if you are using pages that need the same level of restriction.

Here is a code snippet that will allow you to assign a “level” to any content – post or page, and then assign a user level for the users. This example provides a working code snippet for applying a series of progressive levels (higher level users have access to lower level content). The example begins with three generically named levels, these can be renamed and expanded or contracted as needed.Continue Reading →
