post visible only when not logged

Do you mean just a small or a whole post? In the first case, something like this should do it (inside of a template ?? ) ??

<?php if (!$user_ID): ?>
<p>Hello guest :-)</p>
<?php endif; ?>

If zeroK’s suggestion doesn’t work, make sure to scope $user_ID to global first:

<?php global $user_ID; if (!$user_ID): ?>
<p>Hello guest :-)</p>
<?php endif; ?>

See my plugin for a way to call a specific post:

Okay, I’m getting warm…

I installed the get-a-post plugin and I added this code just above the Loop:

<?php global $user_ID; if (!$user_ID): ?>
<p>Hello guest :-)</p>
<?php get_a_post('post#'); ?>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

When I’m logged in, it does nothing… that is good.

When I log out, I see the ‘Hello Guest’ text, so I know it’s picking up that I’m not logged in, but…

instead of the post I want to see it loads my contact form!?

I tried different posts by number and by slug… with and without quotes… still nothing but the contact form.

I have no idea why it would grab the Contact Form!?

Definitely on the right track, but I must not be implementing the get-a-post properly.

Thanks,

aha!…

I used this hack posted by “pati” at the get-a-post website:

“…try putting parentheses around the last $query_suffix string, like this: $query_suffix = “(post_status = ‘publish’ OR post_status = ’static’)”;“

That fixed it!
