Pagination steps through not aloud access areas

  • Hi J?rn,

    i just figured out that the pagination links (see code below) allows to enter restricted access areas.

    <span class=”nav-next”>
    <?php previous_posts_link(NEWER_POSTS); ?>
    </span>
    <span class=”nav-previous”>
    <?php next_posts_link(OLDER_POSTS); ?>
    </span>

    Example:
    1) Post 1 with access level 1
    2) Post 2 with access level 2
    3) Post 3 with access level 1
    Assume that my test user is aloud to read level 1. So if i am in post 3 and click “older posts” i expect to see Post 1! But – in fact, one see Post 2 which should be hidden.
    Any suggestions to solve this?

    Have a nice day!

    Hi Ziguri,

    just tried to reproduce your issue but for me everthing works correctly.
    It is also a little unclear to me if you are on the posts list or on a single post (“if i am in post 3” suggests so).
    Anyway, I tested both.

    My test setup:
    – WP 4.5
    – Theme: Twenty Fifteen
    – 8 posts, all have “Level 1” access, except 2+7 which have “level 2”
    – Settings / Reading: 5 posts per page
    – Testuser with access to “level 1” but not “level 2”

    Possibly another plugin or theme interfering?

    cheers
    j?rn
