Check if post is visible

I was wondering how I could check if a certain post is visible for the current user.
I have some products only visible to groups, but they can still be found via certain search functions and are visible in my sitemap.xml. How can I check if post is visible….?

Hi,

If you restrict a product to a certain group, it would only be visible to members of that group who are logged in. Can you please give an example of a product which is restricted but shows up on your sitemap?

Also you can try out https://github.com/itthinx/groups-sandbox – I’ve created it a few days ago based on a question from another user and it might come in handy for your checks, too. Download the zip file and install it. You can then place shortcodes like this on a page … this example assumes you have a group “Test” and are using it to restrict some products:

[groups_sandbox_posts group="Test" post_type="product"]

Does the above help?

PS You’ll find more examples and details on the shortcode also on https://github.com/itthinx/groups-sandbox

Hi Kento, I use yoast seo for my sitemap.
I have gotten a filter from them, do do some checking.
```
	add_filter( 'wpseo_sitemap_entry', array( $this, 'sitemap_exclude_product' ), 10, 3 );
        // HIDE INVISIBLE PRODUCTS FROM SITEMAP
	function sitemap_exclude_product( $url, $type, $post ) {
		$post_type = get_post_type($post->ID);
		// ONLY DO FOR PRODUCTS
		if ( $post_type=='product' ){
			
			// CHECK IF PRODUCT ONLY VISIBLE FOR GROUPS
			if( class_exists( 'Groups_Cache') ){
				$product         = new WC_Product( $post );
				$visible 		 = $product->is_visible();
				$product_visible = intval(my_woocommerce_product_is_visible( $visible, $post->ID ));
				if($product_visible==0){
					return false;
				}
			}
		}
		
		// NEVER SHOW PRODUCT CATEGORY ZAKELIJK
		if($post->slug=='zakelijk'){
			return false;
		}
		
		return $url;
	}
	
	// HELPER FUNCTION TO CHECK VISIBILITY OF PRODUCT
	function my_woocommerce_product_is_visible ( $visible, $product_id ) {
		if ( $visible ) {
			$visible = Groups_Post_Access::user_can_read_post( $product_id );
		}
		return $visible;
	}
```
This solved my problems.
