Descriere
The mmbrs plugin allows you to restrict content access using shortcodes.
Content may be restricted based on role, capability, user meta, and logged-in status.
What makes mmbrs different:
- Restriction based on role, capability, user meta, and logged-in status is
all in one place. - You are able to restrict content based on if a user is=’not’. For
example, Show this content if a user is not an administrator. - You can pass multiple variables to the roles and capabilities shortcodes.
For example, Show this content to users who are subscribers,
contributors, or editors. - By default, any content within these four shortcodes is not displayed in
feeds. You may also set the showinfeed=’yes’ attribute to show the
content in feeds. - It is as lean as I could get it, with logic ordering to cut down on
processing. Which isn’t saying much, but if you’ve got suggestions, I’m
open to hearing them.
The four mmbrs shortcodes are:
- [mmbrs_logged_in]
- [mmbrs_roles]
- [mmbrs_capabilities]
- [mmbrs_user_meta]
[mmbrs_logged_in]

- showinfeed only accepts yes.
- Shows content in the feed and ignores all other attributes when displaying in the feed. (If it is not being displayed in a feed, all of the attributes take effect.)

Other Notes:
For every shortcode, except [mmbrs_logged_in], if a user is not logged in, the shortcode will return nothing. The exception is when using is=’not’ in [mmbrs_logged_in], as in [mmbrs_logged_in is=’not’]Content.[/mmbrs_logged_in]
By default, everything is hidden from feeds unless showinfeed=’yes’ is defined.
Motivation for this plugin:
I wrote this plugin to fill some holes, reduce some unnecessary functions, and fix some minor bugs I found in other plugins. I now use this, and only this, to control all shortcode-based content access on my membership-style websites.
The Members plugin checks roles by checking capabilities. You are not supposed to do that. The proper way of checking roles is included here. Notes on this:
Aside from that, I love and use the Members plugin and suggest you check it out for other role- and capability-based content access management.
I removed a bunch of stuff from the User Meta Shortcodes plugin that I didn’t want. If you want the additional functionality, I recommend that plugin.
In the end, I wanted very clear control of in-post content via shortcodes. I wasn’t finding anything that was totally stripped down. So I wrote this.
