Protect Custom Taxonomies

Does s2member support protecting custom taxonomies or would that have to be done by protecting specific URIs? I’m looking to be able to protect a custom post type but only posts which are assigned certain taxonomies.

Thanks

Hello Boston,

Currently s2Member does not protect by certain taxonomies.

For what you need, you might be interested in using a special tag in those posts, and protect that tag. For more info check under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Tag Access Restrictions.

You could of course also use the URI access restriction, but I think for what you need this would work.

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks Eduan.

Since I want to protect 90% of that custom post type I’d prefer not to have to tag each post. Any plans to add custom taxonomies in the future?

Nevertheless, I’ve been reading the documentation even though there’s no custom taxonomies I see there’s lots of ways I could do it either by tag, URI or PHP conditions.

Cheers

Hi Boston,

I don’t know of any current plans to add custom taxonomy restrictions, but that may change in the future. For now, using the s2Member Advanced PHP Conditionals and Advanced Query Conditionals inside your theme templates will be the best way to control access to Custom Post Types: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals and Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced Query Conditionals.
