RSS - PostsThis plugin provides a shortcode to display a portion of a post's content only to users of a specific role.
Usage:
Display this text only to Administrators:
[private role="administrator"]Text for Administrators[/private]Display this text only to Administrators and Editors:
[private role="editor"]Text for Editors[/private]Display this text only to Administrators, Editors, and Authors:
[private role="author"]Text for Authors[/private]Display this text only to Administrators, Editors, Authors, and Contributors:
[private role="contributor"]Text for Contributor[/private]Display this text only to Administrators, Editors, Authors, Contributors, and Subscribers:
[private role="subscriber"]Text for Subscribers[/private]Please, note that an Administrator can read an Editor private content or a Subscriber private content, and so on. Same thing for Editor, Author, Contributor, and Subscriber: a higher role can read a lower role content.
If you want to show a note only to a certain role, you have to use a <role>-only option.
In this way, for example, an Administrator or an Editor (roles higher than Author) can't read a note only for Authors.
Here all the cases:
[private role="editor-only"]Text for Editors only[/private][private role="author-only"]Text for Authors only[/private][private role="contributor-only"]Text for Contributors only[/private][private role="subscriber-only"]Text for Subscribers only[/private][private role="visitor-only"]Text for Visitors only[/private]WordPress roles in descending order:
Administrator
Editor
Author
Contributor
Subscriber
