Hello, i have a Custom Post Type UI and ACF, i want to protect all custom page with password, but ACF fields always show… how?
Are you wrapping your ACF fields inside the password protected area?
Perhaps you could show your code so we can help?
I created a page thanks to CPT IU and added fields to it via ACF. Accordingly, I made the page with a template through an elemental but I do not know how to protect the information from the fields to be visible only with a password (from the options of WordPress)
Not knowing the setup. You could either:
1) Use the inbuilt password protection within WP and hope your theme caters for this OR
2) You need to create a custom template:
<?php
/**
* Template Name: Password-Protected Custom Template
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php
// STARTS - wrapp your content with this conditional statement
if ( post_password_required() ) :
// if your post is password protected with our Pro version, show our password form instead
echo get_the_password_form();
/* display the password protected content if the correct password is entered */
else :
// display any custom private content
echo 'custom HTML content';
// fetch & print WordPress custom field value via get_post_meta calls
$custom_field_content = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'key_1', true );
echo $custom_field_content;
// fetch & print ACF fields
the_field( 'acf_introduction_text' );
endif;
// ENDS - hide custom fields with PPWP password protection
?>
</div>
<?php get_footer();?>
You can then assign the template to your page and set the password.
The built-in option protects the content but not what is from the ACF .. How do I make sure it is also protected?
I suspect you will need a custom template or to alter the existing template. It sounds like the ACF fields are outside the password protection code – hence the issue.
Isn’t there a way I can use them to get them inside so that they can get into the password-protected zone? The other thing that comes to my mind is if there is such a plugin that requires a password when loading the page, but the detail is that I need a different password on each page that is protected.
Is the same template used, can you edit it or create a child theme? Perhaps contact the theme developer?
I use a child theme and if you give me instructions on how to enter code or make a template I would do it.
Theme: Hello Elementor Child v1.0
To add what @jarvis has already said. If you are calling the_content() anywhere on the page then this will show the password form automatically. So when it comes to ACF you simply need to use
if (!post_password_required()) {
// show content for ACF fields
}
I understand that but where need to add this code for work…
You wrap everything that you don’t want show with it if a password is required.
if (!post_password_required()) {
everything you don't want displayed here when password is required.
}
Hey John! and @jarvis
I’m also having a similar issue. I understand putting the acf content within that snippet but what is the best practice for putting the info in?
Not sure if I can just put in the whole ACF group key? or even how to list certain fields in this snippet. Can you send an example?
-Thanks!
