    Hi!
    Great plugin, thank you for your work. My question is how to make a protected category to display just a message for login and not list all the post titles with same message like is now. Thank you.
    And another small one. Is there a function to use to test in php if the current post/page is protected from reading? That will help me to control how to display that post.
    Thank you

    Hi can you provide an example for your first question?

    In regards to your second question at present that option has not been added. This is a php functions list currently available for you to use.

    Hi
    I wasn’t very clear at my first questions. Let say if I have protected a hole category. When user is not logged in and it will open that category it will show a list of posts with the message: please log in to see this… repeatedly on every post excerpt.

    So instead of this, in my project, I think is more professional to display just one message: you can’t see posts from this category because you aren’t logged in.

    My question is if it is a function to test if a category is protected to that user, and to use in my theme-category.php. And if it is I can display one message (you can’t see posts from this category because you aren’t logged in…) and if it isn’t I can show the posts in normal way.

    Thank you for your quick feedback and support.

    Hi, I understand what you mean. Does your theme have a setting that allows you to control how many posts are displayed per category?

    Unfortunately I don’t have this option to my theme.

    Can you carry out a test and test one of WordPress default themes like Twenty Fourteen? I am curious to see if it is theme related or not.

    Thank you
