Protection and Custom Post Types

[cflyrun]

Can custom post types be protected through the settings configurations, or must they be protected by each individual page/post?

Also, can comments on protected pages be restricted as viewable only by those with subscriptions to view particular pages? I currently have a member site, looking to switch to eMember, and currently use a shortcode on each custom post type I want to restrict access to, and have a special template type for those custom posts that implements a line of PHP code so that only those logged in can view comments.

Thanks in advance,

Daisy

Nope, custom post types can only be protected individually from the “Manage Content Protection” menu.

By default comments on a protected post or page is also protected. However, you can choose to individually protect the comments for different membership levels (similar to protecting individual posts and pages).

I’m not sure if this answers my question – are you saying that they *can* be protected individually from the Admin section of the eMember plugin?

Currently I have templates set up for custom post types with php code versions of the shortcodes used to protect parts of pages (I’m using PHPurchase and am trying desperately to get away from them since they switched).

I guess I’ll just play around with it and see…

Hi Daisy, You need to use the “Manage Content Protection” menu to protect the custom post types.

Membership level > Manage Content Protection (Tab at the top of the page).

I have the same issue. I have gone to membership level > Manage Content Protection and custom post type are not protected.

Is this custom post triggering the “the_content” filter like all WordPress posts and pages do? Some developers develop custom post type that doesn’t trigger the standard WordPress filter and action hooks. Or they put the content outside WordPress “the_content” area.

Our plugin can’t hook into that content if it doesn’t follow WordPress’s architecture for a post or page.

I don’t know what you mean by trigger the “the_content” filter but when I look at the code in chrome it is inside the content area like a post or page would be.

“the_content” is a filter that needs to be wrapped around the custom post content. If you ask the developer of that plugin/theme, he will understand and be able to answer the question.
