Pmpro Buddypress [pmpro_buddypress_restricted] Shortcode

The ‘pmpro_buddypress_restricted’ shortcode is a feature of the PMPro-BuddyPress plugin. It displays a restriction message for certain content. This shortcode triggers the ‘pmpro_bp_restricted_message’ function which returns a message stating, “This content is restricted”. It’s a handy tool for managing access to content.

Shortcode: [pmpro_buddypress_restricted]

Examples and Usage

Basic example – Show a restricted message using the shortcode.

[pmpro_buddypress_restricted /]

The above shortcode will display the message “This content is restricted.” whenever it is used in a post or page. This is useful for informing users that they need to be a member to view certain content.

Advanced examples

Although the given shortcode does not support additional parameters, we can modify the function to accept parameters for a custom message and text domain.

Here is how you can modify the function:

function pmpro_bp_restricted_message($atts) {
    $atts = shortcode_atts( array(
        'message' => 'This content is restricted.',
        'text_domain' => 'pmpro-buddypress'
    ), $atts );

    return __($atts['message'], $atts['text_domain'] ) . ' ';
}
add_shortcode( 'pmpro_buddypress_restricted', 'pmpro_bp_restricted_message' );

After modifying the function, you can now use the shortcode with additional parameters as shown below:

[pmpro_buddypress_restricted message="This section is for members only." text_domain="my-text-domain" /]

This shortcode will display the message “This section is for members only.” with the text domain set to “my-text-domain”. This allows for greater flexibility in adjusting the message and text domain as needed.
