How to Add Members Only Content Shortcode in WordPress

Are you looking for a way to write private content in a post? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to add members only content shortcode in WordPress.

Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:

function member( $atts, $content = null ) {
       if  ( is_user_logged_in() && !is_null( $content ) && !is_feed() ) {
              return $content;
              return '';
       } else {
 
       $yonlendir = get_permalink();
              $form = wp_login_form(array('echo' => false, 'redirect' => $yonlendir ));
              return $form;
       }
}
add_shortcode( 'mem', 'member' );

This is the shortcode to add private content.

[mem] ..content.. [/mem]
