Hide source code from non admin members?

  • Hey,

    I was wondering how I could hide source code from non admin members?

    The main reason why I want to do this is because I like to add beta (but stable) code to my live site, some times, but I only want it to effect me. Normally it’s the very last bit of testing I do before I bring the code fully online. So I only do this when I am 99% sure everything will work as expected. And of course I back everything up first.

    Since I can not do this at the moment I have to comment out the code when I am not using it at the very moment. It’s very annoying. That is I add the code for testing and something does not work as expected so I want to leave the code in but then I have to comment it out because everyone can see it. It would just be nice if only I could see it (and of course be effected by it) . It would just make it a far less time consuming process.

    Well thanks for your help,

    Will

  • What I like to do is use a development install of WP that’s separate from the production one. You’ll need another database but it might be helpful in testing code changes.

    Yeah, trying to do something that too. I am trying to do that, but I want a real copy. That is, say like every night, automaticlly roll over the current database to the develop database. So its pretty much a copy at that time. Not just the database, but files of course too.

    Atm, I am just doing it manually and its a pain. That is coping files back and fourth and using phpmyadmin or shell to import database stuff. Just gets tiring. ??

    But this issue is not really about that. This is after I have already tested on a development, local installed and am installing on the real server. Just something goes, wrong or whatever and then I have to roll back. Would just be easier if the changes would only effect me and then I could active the changes for real when I am ready to.

    Though been reading a few stuff and it looks like only Oracle supports such a thing with its “commit” and “rollback” features.

    Do you mean “non-admin” members or do you mean people who aren’t logged on? If it’s the latter, a simple conditional check you could do anywhere is:

    <?php if ($user_level > 0) { ?>
    this is the conditional stuff
    <?php } ?>

    The variable $user_level is only set when you’re logged in.

    If it’s the former, see this:

    Hey,

    So I would use if user level not equal to 10. ??

    All right, thanks a ton,

    How i could hide a post from non admin members? Exist some keys for the custom fields? I will not use the post status private, because the categories are not visible…

    Excuse! Now I have found a plugin for my problem. https://fortes.com/projects/wordpress/postlevels

    The feature i need is implemented:
    – private posts show up in category counts
