Nesting Conditional Shortcodes

The idea is that you have a conditional check via the Shortcode. When the condition is true and content is displayed by that Shortcode, you might have another nested Shortcode within that particular block that checks something else. While this is absolutely possible, it requires an underscore _ prefix as outlined below. Example 1 (Bad/Invalid) […]

Simple Expressions

Simple Expressions are supported by some Shortcode Attributes. They allow you to check multiple conditions within the context of a supporting Attribute, using logical operators such as AND, OR. You can also group conditions using round brackets, much like you would in a raw PHP expression. Attributes Supporting Simple Expressions current_user_can="{capability|expr}" current_user_bought_product="{ID|SKU|expr}" current_user_can_download="{ID|SKU|expr}" current_user_meta="{key|expr}" current_user_option="{key|expr}" […]

Arbitrary Custom Attributes

In addition to all of the Attributes that come with the Shortcode, you can also convert any PHP function into a Shortcode Attribute automatically. This functionality is disabled by default, but you can easily enable it from the plugin options page in WordPress. This feature packs a lot of powerful functionality! When Arbitrary Attributes are […]

Packaging Custom Capabilities for Sale

Selling a Customer access to a Custom Capability (CCAP) implies that you are going to check for this CCAP somewhere in your theme, plugin, or in conditionals that you add to a Post. For example, if(current_user_can('access_ccap_something') where something is a CCAP you created. If the Customer paid for access to a Restriction that protects the […]

Protecting Content by Category or Tag

Protecting a _Taxonomy Term_ of any type (for example: *Category*, *Tag*) protects permalinks leading to *Posts* that are associated with that _Term_.

The same would be true for any Custom Post Type that you might install via other plugins for WordPress. Dashboard Location See: DashboardRestrictionsAdd Restriction […]
