page content read only

  • I know I can set permissions based on users but if I have a page with tab shortcodes is there a way to lock the shortcode data but not what is in between? Plugins, functions, css? I want people to be able to edit the data but only admin to change tab shortcodes.

    Thx

    you mean if the page content is [sc1]some content here[/sc1] you want people to be able to edit “some content here” but not touch the short code? If so, no.

    If you want treat content as fields, using a custom post type and custom fields would probably be better.

    Yes that is what I mean I want to lock the shortcode itself but allow people to edit the content in the tab code. Not sure what you mean custom fields?

    Well, no, that’s not possible. You can’t lock down just part of the content. What I’d do is create a custom post type so users enter data field by field and, in the template which renders them, I’d do what the shortcodes would do with that content.

    Take a look at the PODS plugin or Advanced Custom Fields
