Requiring admin credentials

    Howdy Y’all,
    I’m creating a 3D map for a client, and to that end, I’m using a custom post type to contain points of interest. This works well, but in order to place the POIs, each one needs an X and Y coord. These coords are for the underlying 3D environment, and cannot accurately be guessed, so I have a version of the map that shows the X and Y coords where the user clicks (Among other things). I want to protect this page by making sure that any user that accesses it is logged in as an admin. How do I do that? I do not want to use a plugin.

  • Hi scienceofspock,

    When editing the page, click on the “Edit” link next to the “Visibility” status. This will reveal a few options including one to make the page private: https://pics.competethemes.com/1p16101A1s45

    When a page is set to private in this way, only logged-in users with the Editor and Admin user role will be able to view it.

    Hi Ben,
    thanks for the reply, but I was more looking for a way to do it programmatically. Sorry, I should have specified that in my original post.
    Something along the lines of:

    if ( admin_user() ) {
// do admin stuff here
} else {
echo "Restricted!";
exit;
}

    Figured it out:

    $user = wp_get_current_user();

if ( !in_array( 'administrator', $user->roles ) ) {
	header("location:/");
	exit;
}
