    Hi,

    I need custom post types on my site that are exclusively accessible by certain roles. How can I assing a cpt to certain roles?

    I work with members plugin and the content restriction metabox that allows for the default wordpress posts and pages to select roles for access permission does not appear with the custom post types.

    I can see my cpts in members and assign the capabilities to roles. This part works just fine. But when I create a custom post the metabox for content restrictions does not show. Obviously, the cpts don’t support this metabox feature.

    Maybe there’s a possibility to code:

    check user roles
    if roles are “teacher1” or “student1”
    cpts array slugs=’xyz’, ‘abc’,’rtl’ is accessible
    else: show landingpage: https://www.sorry-you-are-not-allowed

    ??

    Thanks
    Kathryn

    Just to make sure I’m following correctly, the biggest issue is that the metabox isn’t showing up like expected, so you’re inquiring about an alternative method to hide the content?

    Yes, thanks Micheal, for your quick response!!

    The members metabox is not showing and I can’t grant access to certain roles the easy way with checkboxes.

    Now I need to find a workaround … and still grant access to certain roles and deny access to all others …

    Can you send me the blob of content on the right side of the page when you visit our CPTUI Tools menu. It’ll allow me to import your CPT settings to see if I can recreate. I just registered a very basic post type and got the metabox for restrictions, so I’m curious if it’s a chosen settings detail.

    Not a problem.

    Looks like the public setting being false is preventing the metabox from showing for the “beitrag_dawidmunchen” post type. The other one, “seiten_dawid_munchen” is showing it just fine. Makes sense since it’s not meant to even be queryable on the frontend, there’s no need to hide it by role.

    If you’re needing to hide the metabox on the admin, based on current user editing, it looks like the metabox code will won’t register if the current user doesn’t have the restrict_content capability.

    You are perfectly right. Works fine. Why did I not see this?

    Thank you very much for your time and effort.

    Can I get you a coffee?
