Restrict Results Based on Paid Memberships Pro Level

Hi Brendan,

I recall answering your question about that. Does that plugin have an API documentation which I can take a look? I couldn’t find anything meaningful with a quick google search. I looked at past support tickets, but apparently nobody had a similar query yet.

All we need is a simple method to check if the current user has access to a resource. I assume there is a very simple way – perhaps a function, hook, Class or anything similar.

Thanks!

The pmpro_hasMembershipLevel looks promising, but still need a way to check what level the current content is. I guess each post/item has a level and there is some way to retrieve that by the post ID?
With that a possible solution would be to:
– go through all the results in a loop
– get the access level of the post by it’s ID
– check if the user has access to that level
– remove it from the results if not

The only thing missing here is how to get the content level by it’s ID.

Okay, now I understand it!

Can you please share the membership levels and the category IDs they can or can’t access?
With that I can probably construct something to add an exclusion to the query – by getting the user level and then appending the categories to exclude.

Perfect!

Okay, so based on all the information I got this:

add_filter(
	'asp_query_args',
	function ( $args ) {
		$level_tag_map = array(
			2 => array( 33 ),
			3 => array( 34 ),
		);
		$user_level    = pmpro_getMembershipLevelForUser();
		if ( $user_level === false ) {
			return $args;
		}
		if ( isset($level_tag_map[ $user_level->ID ]) ) {
			$args['post_tax_filter'][] = array(
				'taxonomy'    => 'post_tag',
				'include'     => $level_tag_map[ $user_level->ID ],
				'allow_empty' => false,
			);
		}
		return $args;
	},
	10,
	1
);

I couldn’t test it obviously, so please be careful.

Try adding this code via the Code Snippets plugin or to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

Thank you for the feedback!

I suspect the taxonomy might not be post_tag but something else. Can you please check the taxonomy name? You can see it when you open the category editor for that content: https://i.imgur.com/KHD90A8.png

Great! 🙂

Let me know if there is anything.
