User pages/posts only viewable

[lozmg76]

Hi

Firstly to say what a great plugin this is! The free version is perfect.

I have just purchased the pro version.

I need to restrict the access of a user so that they can only view/edit their own posts/pages/products. Therefore restricting access to everyone elses.

Does this function already exists’ and how can i do this?

I also don’t want to have to manually select which posts or pages the user can see.

Many thanks

Kind regards

Laurence

Hi Laurence,

You may achieve this by 2 ways:
1) Try my other plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/view-own-posts-media-only/
or
2) Use posts/pages edit restrictions add-on of a Pro version:
https://www.role-editor.com/allow-user-edit-selected-posts/
But do not input that users post IDs as restrictions list.
If you wish that user add new posts add him or to the his role the ‘create_posts’ capability.
In order to restrict him to view his own posts do the following:
– Add to the user or to the his role ‘edit_others_posts’ capability. This will activate ‘edit posts/pages with author user ID (comma separated)’ section at that user profile.
– Input that user ID to that field to restrict him to view/edit just his posts and any other custom posts types, like WooCommerce products, etc.
