Adding shortcode to the body breaks page protection

[igkteam]

Hi there,

What I’m running: Latest Genesis

What I did: Created a short code call in the body of the page I’m trying to protect.

Why: The skin of the page IS the protected content. Everything is in there. So the “content to protect” is everything, and because I assumed the BODY is what gets locked down by the membership plugin, I did this. (Nothing else worked either)

What happened: The shortcode gets displayed – aka ALL the content – without me needing to be logged in, and then BELOW it, there is a login link.

There’s gotta be some way around this. Is this a glitch?

HELP!!!

Thank you.

I figured it out!

Hopefully my hell will be helpful to someone:

You have to initiate shortcodes before they are used right? So any place before or in the loop.

I was missing something simple I couldn’t understand that caused the shortcodes to fire off before the login was initiated.

All I had to do was the following:

if (wp_emember_is_member_logged_in()) { add_action( ‘genesis_before_loop’, ‘register_shortcodes’); }

That’s it!
