Exclude URLs

+1

Hi,

this article helped me:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/exclude-pages-password-protected-plugin#post-660341

I also had to add some code because it doesn’t work if you share the link in some website that modifies it (i.e. Facebook).

The final code is:

//remeber to add urls that result from people writing things like yourdomain.com instead of www.yourdomain.com: Password protected redirects them and doesn't show what you need, i.e. your home page. You can copy/paste them from the address bar.

$url_exclude = array(   'https://www.........com',
                        'https://.......com',
                         'https://www.......com/?password-protected=login&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2F..........com%2F);

//Other exceptions
$bOtherExc = false;

//if url is shared in FB - really raw check...
if(strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'com%2F%3Ffbclid')) {
    $bOtherExc = true;
}

if( is_ssl() == 'https') {
    $protocol = 'https';
} else {
    $protocol = 'http';
}

$current_link = $protocol."://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if(in_array($current_link,$url_exclude) || $bOtherExc){

        return;
}

Thanks teonsight!

Thanks @teonsight ! Everything works great, but the FB link. It still requires for login when users come from FB.
Let’s say the site url is test.ro, my code looks like this:

$url_exclude = array('https://test.ro/',
    'https://test.ro/',
    'https://test.ro/?password-protected=login&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Ftest.ro%2F)';
//Other exceptions
$bOtherExc = false;

//if url is shared in FB - really raw check...
if(strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'ro%2F%3Ffbclid')) {
    $bOtherExc = true;
}

if( is_ssl() == 'https') {
    $protocol = 'https';
} else {
    $protocol = 'http';
}

$current_link = $protocol."://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

if(in_array($current_link,$url_exclude) || $bOtherExc){

    return;
}

Is there anything else that I need to change?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe because my check is just for links in comments. I tried to share a link in a post and the url created was:
https://www.test.com/?fbclid=IwAR17l…

so try to change line 7 like this:

if(strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'ro%2F%3Ffbclid') || strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'ro/?fbclid')) {

Anyway I think that – with (one of) the last relase – the autor added an hook to add this check without modyfing the plugin but I didn’t try.
