[Resolved] Also hide previews by POSTS GROUPS

[a.R]

I can hide posts controlled by POSTS GROUPS, but

how can I also hide the posts preview in
- VIEWS and
- MENUS?

It is not nice to see a post preview in a widget or menu and then, after clicking on it, being told the post doesn´t exist.
So it would be good if ANY TRACE of a post the user doesn´t have access to would disappear.

Can you help me here?

THANK YOU, kind regards.

Dear A.R,

I assume we are talking about "Access control for field groups":
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/access-control-for-user-fields/

Yes, it is expected result, views will be able to output the posts which are setup as hidden in "Access control for field groups" settings, as a workaround you can add a filter in your view:
Display only the posts do not have any "Post Group" setting.

For example, add below codes in your theme/functions.php:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'non_access_posts_func', 10, 3 );
function non_access_posts_func( $query, $view_settings, $views_id ) {
	if ( $views_id == 123 ) {
		$query['meta_query'][] = array(
			'key'     => '_wpcf_access_group',
			'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
		);
    }
    return $query;
}

Please replace 123 with your Views ID

Hi,

I do not understand, what that has to do with filed groups, but it seems to help for VIEWS.

However, is there also a solution to hide posts with POST GROUP SETTING from MENUS?

Thank, you, kind regards

It depends on how do you setup the menu, and I suggest you setup a content template with Views shortcode [wpv-login-form]:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-login-form

And display above content template when current user does not have access to the post:

Ok, thank you.

I would like to hide certain posts from the wordpress primary menu, depending from their toolset-post-group.
(Right now, I´m using the plugin "add descendants as submenu items".)

Is that possible?

[Luo Yang]

You will need to find the codes in the plugin "add descendants as submenu items", which if for querying the posts, and add codes as I mentioned above:

Ok, I will try to do that.

If I can´t, maybe I will use another plugin to auto hide certain posts from menus.
Can you maybe recommend me one?

Thank you, kind regards.
