This light weight plugin can be used to hide posts and pages from specified user roles. All you have to do is wrap the target content in the shortcode [lock_content]. The plugin also adds a new button to the default WordPress editor so you can lock content quickly and effortlessly.
Features:
Custom error messages: You can specify the error message while hiding the content. Just add an error attribute to the shortcode. For instance:
[lock_content error="You need to log in first"]Some text[/lock_content]Also, you can add a default error message in the control panel that will be displayed in case the error attribute of the shortcode is absent.
User levels: By specifying a role in the shortcode you can decide which members see the hidden content. For instance:
[lock_content role="author"]Text visible to authors, editors and admins[/lock_content]You can also set a default access level in the control panel.
Capabilities: You can also block access by specifying a capability instead of a role. This may come in handy if you have custom roles on your website. Here's an example of this feature:
[lock_content capability="activate_plugins"]Text visible to admins[/lock_content]If you like this plugin please give it a good rating.
