Frontier Post Hide Categories?

Several ways:

In Frontier Post settings, you can add Categories to excluded (will apply fronall users)

In Frontier Post Capabilities: you can set allowed Categories per user profile, also be aware that if needed you can add an additional user profile “Frontier Author”, if needed, in Frontier Post Advanced settings

Dear Finnj,
Thank you very much for your kind response and tips. I realized that I can do this when I adjust category id in both settings and capabilities. I had trouble getting things for my normal members to work in their user roles despite adding capabilities, but I found I could assign them an additional Frontier Author role and that seems of have solved the issue. Things looked good, but then I was concerned about everyone accessing the medial library. Voila! I discovered you have created a great media library restriction plugin too. Super! You have answered my prayers! I do this website as a volunteer and have been testing so many plugins for my members only area…yours is really great idea, flexible and easy to work with. Before I get too excited, will you continue to be updating the plugins for WordPress?

Yes, I will continue to update it.

I will not release a lot of new functionality, but will keep it running and test it with new WordPress versions.

And thank you for the kind words

I am actually using the plugin at some site I run.

It is 7 years since I started with Frontier Post, and it has shown as a pretty stable plugin.

Their might be a significant span between releases, but as long as it works, it should be OK

Hi again,
I would also need to restrict the size of media that non-editors & non-administrators can upload. The server default is 35MB …think that would be too much for others users. Do you have any idea here?
Thanks for any pointers!

Hi,

Sorry, I do not know how to change this

I am sure there is a plugin that can help.

the 35mb must be a php set limit, and can probably be changed in either php.ini or in wp-config.php

try to google it ??

Hi again,
Thanks for your response. In case this helps you or anyone else, I did some googling and experiment and this helped.

I added the following to my child functions php and it seems to be working C:

// Users cannot upload large files Limit upload size for non-admins. Admins get the default limit
function increase_upload_size_limit( $limit ) {
if ( ! current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) ) {
$limit = 1048576; // 1 MB
}
return $limit;
}
add_filter( ‘upload_size_limit’, ‘increase_upload_size_limit’ );

Hi 007elt

Thanks, I will post it on the Restrict media support forrum as well

Do you mind rate Frontier Post, the last review that is over 1 year old says the plugin is abandoned ……

I have updated the documentation of Action and Filters, and added a demo plugin to show how they can be used

I find it better to package small code pieces in plugins rather than in functions.php, as plugins can be activated/deactivated, and easily be moved between installations.

You might be able to use it yourself – You can use the one I made, and copy/paste/change it

There are a few things to be aware of with plugins.
– a directory in plugins folder (lower case, no spaces, nu underscores
– a php file with exact same name as the directory
– a readme.txt file

Thanks for the review,
