Tell us what you are trying to do?

let's imagine the following example

User01, role "normaluser" have 1 custom post type called "myinfo"
example.com/myinfo/privatedate03

User02, role "normaluser" have 2 custom post type called "myinfo"
example.com/myinfo/privatedate
example.com/myinfo/privatedate02

I want to avoid User02 can see the post of User01 and User02 see the post of User01.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Yes, but I didn't found anything useful to me. I know how roles work but I can't apply because my site will have more than 100 users. I can't make a role for each one.

I think I will need to use views inside the template for "myinfo" slug , or I am missing something?

Regards

Hi Rafael,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

If you give the roles an Edit Own privilege, then the users of that role will only be able to edit their own posts.

Please try this and let me know if it helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Seems I don't give a correct explanation. Your solution is OK for normal situations, but I have a role who can see other post based on a custom user field so I solve using a function shortcode, then this function returns 1 is can see the content and 2 if now.

Then I register that shortcode on wp-types setting, and add is as conditional view 🙂

many thanks for your time
