Support from Teodor request (Displaying a lock icon only on restricted content)

    Hi Teodor, I’ve created a new support request as you suggested.

    Let me try to clarify my request and also answer your questions from the other post.

    I wish to display a lock icon next to a post title only when a post is protected.

    Currently, I am developing a training website (test site) using the Knowall KB WordPress Theme and the LearnDash plugin.

    As I need to have several membership tiers on my site and need them to work happily alongside my LearnDash courses I need to use the WooCommerce Memberships Plugin. This allows me to use a couple of plugins that will really help with the administration of the website (Group Registration for LearnDash).

    I have contacted the WooCommerce developers and the developers of the theme but they just advised I speak to a WordPress Support Agency. I did this and I’m still waiting for a response.

    After seeing your post reply on this forum which detailed exactly how to achieve this with your own plugin I had hoped that the general basis of how it worked might transfer to another plugin/theme with a few tweaks to the code?

    I have tried for many hours to make it work myself with no luck. I am not a developer, unfortunately.

    I hoped you might be interested in assisting me with this?

  • Hi Jon,

    Thank you for the additional details.

    1. Create an empty plugin like this: https://gist.github.com/sareiodata/76f701e01db6685829db

    2. Add the following code to the end of it:

    /*
 * Filter to display a Locked Font Awesome Icon next to the Title of a Restricted Post/Page
 * Works with WooCommerce Memberships plugin
 */

add_filter('the_title', 'pmsc_add_icon_next_to_restricted_post', 10, 2);

function pmsc_add_icon_next_to_restricted_post($post_title, $post_id) {
    if (is_admin()) {
        return $post_title;
    }
    if (wc_memberships_is_post_content_restricted ($post_id)) {
        return '<i class="fa fa-lock" aria-hidden="true"></i>' . ' ' . $post_title;
    }
    return $post_title;
}

    3. Install this plugin via FTP (copy it inside wp-content/plugins) or create a zip archive with it and install it via the WordPress plugin upload functionality

    Also make sure the post is restricted based on a WooCommerce Subscription Plan. For the font awesome icon install a plugin like WP Font Awesome.

    Let me know if the custom code works.

    Hi Teodor

    Thank you so much for this generous assistance!

    The instructions above have resulted in the icon appearing next to the post-title of all posts which have been restricted based on a WooCommerce Subscription Plan.

    I see from my description above that I may not have explained clearly enough what I was hoping to achieve though.

    I really need an icon to only appear if that user does not have permission to access that post. As I will have a free tier on my website every post will, in essence, be restricted based on a WooCommerce Subscription Plan. By this logic currently, all of the posts will appear with a lock icon.

    Can you suggest an additional solution for this?

    I massively appreciate all of the time and efforts you are giving for this and would be happy to make a donation/reimburse you for your time.

    Best wishes
    Jon

    I’ve found a few posts that seem to lead towards what I’m trying to achieve – I hoped they might be of help.

    I think it might involve this?

    if( wc_memberships_is_user_active_member( $membership_plan ) )
