Hey!
I’m not used in programming.. so does it have to look like this?
function pcl_bypass_group_ids( $prevent, $group_id ) {
$whitelist = array( 1, 2, 3 ); // Provide an array of group IDs to bypass
if ( in_array( $group_id, $whitelist ) ) {
return false;
}
return $prevent;
}
add_filter( ‘pcl_prevent_concurrent_logins’, ‘pcl_bypass_group_ids’, 10, 2 );
function pcl_bypass_roles( $prevent, $group_id ) {
$whitelist = array( ‘administrator’, ‘customer’ ); // Provide an array of roles to bypass
$group = get_group_by( ‘id’, absint( $group_id ) );
$roles = empty( $group->roles ) ? array() : $group->roles;
$intersect = array_intersect( $roles, $whitelist );
if ( ! empty( $intersect ) ) {
return false;
}
return $prevent;
}
add_filter( ‘pcl_prevent_concurrent_logins’, ‘pcl_bypass_roles’, 10, 2 );
Try this:
function gygaxc_pcl_bypass_roles( $prevent, $user_id ) {
$whitelist = array( 'administrator', 'customer' ); // Provide an array of roles to bypass
$user = get_user_by( 'id', absint( $user_id ) );
$roles = empty( $user->roles ) ? array() : $user->roles;
$intersect = array_intersect( $roles, $whitelist );
if ( ! empty( $intersect ) ) {
return false;
}
return $prevent;
}
add_filter( 'pcl_prevent_concurrent_logins', 'gygaxc_pcl_bypass_roles', 10, 2 );
^ that example uses administrator and customer as the roles to exclude.

Hello! Well, thanks for your answer and sorry for late reply – had some other issues to solve first..
Hmm.. I made a bit of research and found out the following: The membership plugin uses the default wordpress login process. And the developpers told me that it shoud be possible to use this methode for checking client circles:
global $wpc_client;
$client_circles = $wpc_client->cc_get_client_groups_id( get_current_user_id() );
Do you have any idea to integrate this in your plugin?
Best regards

Hi gygaxc,
Sorry that would require some custom integration with your plugin/setup which is outside the scope of what I’m able to provide here.
In the future I will most likely add a Settings screen where roles and users can be explicitly whitelisted with checkboxes.
Until then the pcl_prevent_concurrent_logins filter in the plugin is fully capable of handling what you need. You will just need to modify the logic I provided in it to make it suitable for your application.
