Hi!

Mateus, can you help us with another feature?

Your code works well, but we need to allow users to access pages. Maybe I did not explained well before.

So, users must only view their own POSTS, but need to be allowed to view pages, because we will put forms and instruction on pages.

Could you help us, please?

Hello Gustavo,

Thank you for contacting us.

I made a small adjustment to that code to make it test if the CPT is from the type 'Page' before limiting the access:

function display_user_posts_only($query) {
    if (is_user_logged_in() && $query->is_main_query()) {
        // Get the current user's ID
        $current_user_id = get_current_user_id();

        // Check if the current user is an administrator or the post type is 'page'
        if (!current_user_can('activate_plugins') || $query->get('post_type') === 'page') {
            // If the current user is not an administrator or it's a 'page', don't modify the query
            return;
        }

        // If the current user is not an administrator and it's not a 'page', modify the query to show only their posts
        $query->set('author', $current_user_id);
    }
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'display_user_posts_only');

Can you please test it and tell us if it has the expected effect?

Thank you, please let us know.

Hi! Mateus.

No, it does not work anymore.

An author now can see the pages, but can see all posts also.

So, it sees that this code has no function, since WP is now working as always, everyone can see everything.

Sorry for the confusion.

I worked in following code, tested it locally and it is working as expected:

function restrict_post_access_and_list($query) {
    // Check if the post type is "page." Allow access to all users for pages.
    if ($query->is_page) {
        return;
    }

    // If it is not CPT "page" and user is not logged in, send them to the login page
    if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
        wp_redirect(wp_login_url(get_permalink())); // Redirect non-logged-in users to the login page.
        exit;
    }

    if (is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query()) {
        return;
    }

    // Check if the user is an administrator.
    if (current_user_can('administrator')) {
        return;
    }

    // Check if the query is for a single post.
    if ($query->is_single) {
        $post_id = $query->get('p'); // Get the post ID.
        $post = get_post($post_id); // Get the post object using the post ID.

        if ($post && is_user_logged_in() && $post->post_author == get_current_user_id()) {
            return;
        } else {
            wp_redirect(home_url()); // Redirect to the homepage for unauthorized users.
            exit;
        }
    }

    // Check if the query is for an archive or loop.
    if ($query->is_home() || $query->is_archive()) {
        $current_user_id = get_current_user_id();
        $query->set('author', $current_user_id);
    }
}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'restrict_post_access_and_list');

Thank you brother.

It works.

If I could suggest you, to create a View tool which shows users only their posts, would be great.

There is only one plugin I know which do something like this.
