Hide custom post type by user roles

Question

I created a custom post type ( Customers ) and i want to show posts of this post type just to the users with Customer role.

there is any way without or with plugin?

Answer 1

as @Tonydjukic mentioned, the best way is get user role first and then showing content to him.

also with this code we can do it :

$user = wp_get_current_user();
$allowed_roles = array( 'administrator', 'customer' );
if ( array_intersect( $allowed_roles, $user->roles ) ) {
}

You could use register_post_type_args filter to change public to false depending on your users role.

Answer 3

if you want to use the plugin. Advance Access manager. https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-access-manager/

The plugin basically allows you to not only manage access to the backend and front for specific posts. But also hide menu and dashboard entries.
