Read More

    All,

    WordPress has a builtin for “Read More” but because my hidden text is proprietary I need processing for:

    1.) Registered User (not registered directs to registration page),
    2.) LoggedIn (not logged in direct to login page or login pop-up).

    What are the 2 constant or variables containing these values and since I will possibly have multiple “Read More”s on a page, how do I handle each separately or uniquely?

    Is there already a plugin for this. Was not able to find one searching.

    Cheers!

    see https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More

    In your filter, can you use various conditional functions to determine what text to use.

    Steve,

    I don’t see how I can use multiple “More” tags on the same page, which I must.

    Do you have an example of how to do that? Assuming something like this:

    <p class=’more’ name=’unique1′>Read more content here</p>

    Am I right?

    If I weren’t to use the built-in read more stuff, I’d use a shortcode to insert the content and then in my code, I’d decide what text to use….

    so I’d do something like [insert_read_more link="http://example.com/something"]

    Steve,

    According to the HOWTO at: wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/fixing-the-read-more-tag-problem-in-wordpress-static-pages/

    Would go something like this:

    ******************************************************************
    My viewable, non-more content there then add the tag: <?php the_content(‘Read More’, name=’unique1′); ?>Followed by my clickable content, then this tag: <?php the_content(‘End’); ?>

    Then more of my non-clickable text and then another set of clickable content with: <?php the_content(‘Read More’, name=’unique2′); ?>And my next set of clickable content, then this tag: <?php the_content(‘End’); ?>
    ******************************************************************

    Does this look/sound right?

    Steve,

    If I know the 2 vars with the registered user and loggedin user the php would look something like this:

    <?php the_content(‘Read More’, name=’unique1′);
    if ($registered != ‘TRUE’) then {
    header(“Location: ‘../register'”);
    } elseif { ($login != ‘TRUE’) then }
    header(“Location: ‘../login'”);
    } // end if registered
    ?>

    Cheers!
