shortcode in template

Hi Bradley! This should have worked, what is the response/message you are getting?

Hey there! Thanks for the response.

I’m getting this in place of the content:

“[administrator info: content below memberonly label=”CITAPRIL2016″]”

But no content displays after that in the page. Only the footer and everything after the_content.

<article id="post-3006" class="post-3006 page type-page status-publish hentry">

					<h1 class="main_title">Coach Intensive Training — April 2016 – TESTING</h1>

					<div class="entry-content">
					[administrator info: content below memberonly label="CITAPRIL2016"]					</div> <!-- .entry-content -->

				</article>

Hi Bradley Pirman! That is the message shown if you are logged in as a WordPress administrator so that is normal. Since you are testing for no response, this message causes the first IF statement to be false.

You will need to test on a separate browser (not a separate tab/window) where you are logged in as a member with the appropriate permissions (ie. have the appropriate label and a renewal date that is sufficiently current).

Okay so I think I’m misunderstanding what the plugin is returning to $response.
I read the post here and thought that if the user had permissions, that $response would be empty. So then I was trying to display the_content if $response was empty.

I’m looking for a way to show the_content if the user is authorized. Can you help me fashion my if() to do that?

Thanks so much!

Hi Bradley Pirman! that is correct, the function will return an empty string given the parameter you pass it, if the user had permission as a member to access the content. However a WordPress administrator is not a member. So you should perform your testing on a separate browser, logged in as a member.

GREAT! Nice to know the code was in line!
This poses a problem when Administrators are viewing the page. I guess I could test for the “[Administrator…]” string in response instead of just the empty.

future idea? maybe have “unauthorized” or similar message in $response if the user is unauthorized.

Thanks so much for your help. Especially the prompt response!
