Show only when logged in Option

[seowerk]

Hey there,

short question. When I create a membership area on my page with a plugin and I want only the logged in member to find some results but not the normal user…how can I do that in ajax search pro?

Im looking for a “show only when logged in” option for the search results.

Thank you!

Hi!

Well, there is no such option, but there is a programmatical way to exclude posts/pages/other cpt by their IDs, when the user is not logged in.

Try adding this code 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.

You can add the unwanted post IDs to the $ids array variable.

add_filter( 'asp_query_args', 'asp_exclude_only_post_ids', 10, 2 );
function asp_exclude_only_post_ids( $args, $id ) {
  /**
   * Array of post IDs to exclude for non-logged in users
   */     
  $ids = array(1, 2, 3);
  
  // -- !! Do not change anything below this line !! --
  if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
	$args['post_not_in'] = array_merge($args['post_not_in'], $ids);
  }

  return $args;
}

Hello Ernest,

thank you for your quick answer. I tried it and added the IDs of the product categories in the $ids array.
Then I recreated the index.

Does this only work with posts or also with CPTs and custom Taxonomies?
In the live search there are still those results when I am not logged in.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Dominik,

This only works with custom post types. If you want to exclude taxonomy term results, use this variation instead:

add_filter( 'asp_query_args', 'asp_exclude_only_post_ids', 10, 2 );
function asp_exclude_only_post_ids( $args, $id ) {
  /**
   * Array of post IDs to exclude for non-logged in users
   */     
  $post_type_ids = array(1, 2, 3);
  
  /**
   * Array of term IDss to exclude for non-logged in users
   */     
  $tax_term_ids = array(1, 2, 3);
  
  // -- !! Do not change anything below this line !! --
  if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
	$args['post_not_in'] = array_merge($args['post_not_in'], $post_type_ids);
	$args['taxonomy_terms_exclude'] = array_merge($args['taxonomy_terms_exclude'], $tax_term_ids);
  }

  return $args;
}

Ah ok, it worked with the normal CPT post. Taxonomy is still weird.

But for now, this is good for me.
Thank you!!
