I would like to be able to hide any post that has the custom field wpcf-development-hide-content from any and all views output unless the currently logged in user is in the administrator role. I was going to use the wpv_filter_query hook but am not 100% sure on how to use it. I've go the following code as a starting point but can you assist in telling me how to use it add a filter to the view?

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'be_hide_development_items' );
function be_hide_development_items( $query_args ) {
    if ( current_user_can('administrator') ) {
	  
	} else {
	  
        $query_args['???'] = // some code here to add filter wpcf-connection-hide-content != 1 (or is null)

    }
    return $query_args;
}

Thanks for any help.

Hi Aaron

Can you just clarify, this field 'wpcf-development-hide-content ', it may or may not be present on all posts, and it can have what possible values?

Hi Nigel,

Certainly. The possible values are 1 or 0, although I can't be 100% certain all posts will have the variable at all. I have set the custom field to apply to all posts and have a default value of 0 but it wouldn't be there for older posts and I'm not sure it will add the field if I don't explicitly put it into a front-end form. So, to be safe, I'd say the post should be filtered out of a view if the field exists and it equals 1. Otherwise, the post should not be filtered out.

This is complicated somewhat by the fact that using the != comparison for a meta_query will exclude posts that don't have the key at all, so special allowance needs to be made for that.

Try this:

function tssupp_hide_posts( $view_args, $view_settings, $view_id ){

	if ( !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) { // only do this for non-admins

		$new_args = array (

			'relation'	=>	'OR',
			array(
				'key'		=>	'wpcf-development-hide-content',
				'compare'	=>	'NOT EXISTS'
			),
			array(
				'key'		=>	'wpcf-development-hide-content',
				'value'		=>	1,
				'compare'	=> '!='
			)
		);


		if ( isset( $view_args['meta_query'] ) ) {

			$view_args['meta_query'][] = $new_args;
		} else {
			$view_args['meta_query'] = $new_args;
		}
	}

	return $view_args;
}
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'tssupp_hide_posts', 101, 3 );

Tried it out and it is filtering everything out of all views, so no content comes up. It's doing this regardless of role (tested it as guest, subscriber, and admin).

I take that back. I did something silly when pasting in your code. It actually works like a charm. Tested as guest, subscriber, and admin and seems to be working in all scenarios. Thanks so much!
