I have different users registered on my WordPress website with different roles. Apart from the rest of users, I want to allow advertisers (users with advertiser role - advertiser is a custom role that I have created) to place their own products on my site and also manage them. But they need to be limited only to manage (create, edit and delete) their own products, not of others.
So far, I have tried the following code but it seems to be not valid. I am sure I can accomplish my goal using pre_get_posts action and the following function can help me but I need some help in resolving the issues with this code. I am not sure about the post type of products.
Here is the code that I am trying to accomplish my goal with:
function show_specific_advertiser_products( $query ) {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( is_admin() && in_array ($query->get( 'post_type'), array( 'woocommerce_products' ) ) && !user_can( $current_user, 'administrator' ) ) {
$query->set( 'author__in', $current_user->ID );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'show_specific_advertiser_products' );
Any help will highly be appreciated.
The error in your code comes from the post_type… for woocommerce products it's simply product. You will have to replace administrator by your custom user role.
So try the following instead:
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'show_specific_advertiser_products' );
function show_specific_advertiser_products( $query ) {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( is_admin() && $query->get( 'post_type') === 'product' && in_array('administrator', $user->roles) ) {
$query->set( 'author', $user->ID );
}
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). It should works.

I want to redirect the users of my site to a custom thank you page after they create a page and send it for review.
I found this snippet, but this one is for posts, and it's for publishing, not for pending review. The role that I want to use for this snippet is Tutor Instructor.
Can somebody help me to edit this snippet? It's a WordPress site.
add_action( 'save_post', 'redirect_user_page_list', 10, 3 );
function redirect_user_page_list( $post_ID, $post, $update ) {
if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$role = ( array ) $user->roles;
if ( 'user_role' == $role[0] ) {
$url = '';
wp_redirect($url);
exit;
}
}
}
//replace user_role with your actual role the one for which you need to implement this functionality. Also place the proper url in $url.
You can execute this code after your code
window.location.href = 'https://yoursite.com/thank-you';
I am a noob in WordPress and just built an intranet site. The login to the site is by invite only to our internal employees.
We post important internal communication on the portal and would like to know if a logged in user has read the post and on which date. The idea is to find which users have missed reading which posts?
I tried to search for plugins that will help me to get this information, however, I am drawing a complete blank. Even tried experimenting with various user statistics plugins and programs but to no avail. None of the user statistics packages shows such information.
Any help will really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can do this with update_post_meta() and get_post_meta().
Create this must-use plugin file and customize:
wp-content/mu-plugins/read.php
<?php // Requires PHP 5.4+.
add_action( 'init', function() {
if ( is_singular() && is_user_logged_in() ) {
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$read_by = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_read_by', true );
$read_by = is_array( $read_by ) ? $read_by : [];
if ( ! isset( $read_by[ $user_id ] ) ) {
$read_by[ $user_id ] = time();
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_read_by', $read_by );
}
}
} );
I'm in the process of developing my own theme, but I have run into some problems. I'm trying to display both blog posts and WooCommerce products on the same page - not only on the same page, but in my Bootstrap and Masonry grid.
You can see the page here, where it only shows the WooCommerce products: link
You can see there code here: link
Does any of you know a way to do this?
You can use the pre_get_posts filter to modify the query and return multiple post types in the loop.
function so_30900238_query_mod( $query ) {
if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() )
return;
if ( is_post_type_archive( 'product' ) ) {
// Display 50 posts for a custom post type called 'movie'
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'product', 'post' ) );
return;
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'so_30900238_query_mod' );
Untested.
I'm building a fairly complex project that has many frontend editing pages. For example, add/edit/list custom post types, edit profile, and so on, all from the frontend.
At the moment I can of course check if user is logged in on each frontend login-walled page. However, this seems like a bad way of solving this problem as I'll have the same conditional on many pages and thus lots of repeated code.
I was thinking perhaps there is a better way where I could authenticate based on some hook (that I can't finds). I hoped I could do something like:
# create array of URLs where login is required
$needLoginArr = array(url1, url2, url3, ...)
# If current requested URL is in above array, then redirect or show different view based on whether or not user is logged in
It might not be practical in future to have conditional on each page as I plan on integrating within different plugins, so would be useful to use URL to authenticate.
I'm probably missing something here so if there's a better way please let me know.
Thanks
You could add your list of page IDs into an option:
$need_login = array(
'page1',
'page1/subpage',
'page2',
// and so forth
);
$need_login_ids = array();
foreach( $need_login as $p ) {
$pg = get_page_by_path( $p );
$need_login_ids[] = $pg->ID;
}
update_option( 'xyz_need_login', $need_login_ids );
Then, to check if your page is in the $need_login group:
add_filter( 'the_content', 'so20221037_authenticate' );
function so20221037_authenticate( $content ) {
global $post;
$need_login_ids = get_option( 'xyz_need_login' );
if( is_array( $need_login_ids ) && in_array( $post->ID, $need_login_ids ) ) {
if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
// alter the content as needs
$content = 'Stuff for logged-in users' . $content;
}
}
return $content;
}

This goes beyond posts and media. I have several CPT's and a calendar. Is there a way to have wordpress check the user name and only show content they have created?
In the backend, to filter all post types that are shown and restrict the visualization you can use pre_get_posts.
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'users_own_content_so_12761756' );
/**
* Show only posts of the current user in the dashboard
* affects posts, pages, media and custom post types
*/
function users_own_content_so_12761756( $wp_query_obj )
{
// Restrict hook to the backend
if( !is_admin() )
return;
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
// http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-a.php
if( !is_a( $current_user, 'WP_User') )
return;
if( !current_user_can( 'administrator' ) )
$wp_query_obj->set( 'author', $current_user->ID );
}
After applying this code, you'll notice that the post count is not correct: it'll show the total count and not the user count. To adjust that, refer to this Q&A: Update post counts (published, draft, unattached) in admin interface.
You'll need to care about user roles and capabilities as well, blocking the rights to edit someone else's posts/pages/cpts. That's because a user can type in the browser address example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=POST_ID&action=edit and access the post, if he/she has the rights to do so.
you can try adding this to the loop
<?php $author = get_the_author();
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if($author != $current_user->user_nicename) {
echo "permission denied";
break;
} ?>
I use the members plugin to create a custom-defined role for users.
