For the regex users, the matches happen from $_SERVER[\u2018REQUEST_URI'], which means anything in the URL after the domain. Accordingly, if your WordPress is in a subdirectory<\/strong>, you must add the subdirectory folder to your pattern<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, let's say your website is located in the \/members\/<\/strong> subdirectory (https:\/\/yourdomain.com\/members\/<\/strong>). Thus, for any folder on this website, the pattern must start with ^\/members\/<\/strong> prefix (e.g. ^\/members\/myfolder\/.*<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note<\/strong>: To protect folders in this way, you must use MemberPress rules set to the Custom URI<\/strong> type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you want to protect some paragraphs, images, or even hide widgets<\/a> on a page from unauthorized members, but leave the rest of the page available to everyone? Well, MemberPress makes that easy! Each Rule and Membership you create comes with a Shortcode<\/strong> and PHP Snippet<\/strong> which you can use to hide selected portions of your content based on that individual rule or by content associated with your Memberships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Shortcodes<\/a> will be the most commonly used as they will work on all WordPress Pages, Posts, and Custom Post Types. Shortcodes look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any content between the opening and closing part of the shortcode and simply will be protected from unauthorized users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The rule=\u201d1\u2033 part is where you specify the ID of the Rule that should be applied to this protected content. The ifallowed=\u201dshow\u201d<\/em> part is where you specify whether to show or hide this partial content if the user has access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\u00a0shortcode has also unauth <\/strong>parameter that can be used like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If set to unauth=\u201dmessage\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 the user will be shown the unauthorized message when they are not authorized. If set to unauth=\u201dlogin\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 the user will see the login form when they are unauthorized. If set to unauth=\u201dboth\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 the user will see the default unauthorized message followed by the login form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Note<\/strong>: when set to, \u201cmessage\u201d or, \u201cboth\u201d AND the rule has a custom unauthorized message it will display the custom unauthorized message from the rule instead of the global one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using both ifallowed=\u201dshow\u201d<\/em> and ifallowed=\u201dhide\u201d<\/em> on the same page is a great way to show teaser content to guests and unauthorized members, but then hide that teaser content after they have paid and logged in and instead show the full premium content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to leave a mental note for yourself on the backend of your site you can add a third part to this shortcode which looks like description=\u201dgold_membership_only\u201d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This way you can easily remember when looking over your page or post six months or more later what this shortcode was for. Be sure to only use letters, numbers, and underscores for the description. Spaces and quotes can cause unexpected results. Here's an example with a description included: <\/p>\n\n\n\n The PHP Snippet is for advanced users who may want to protect some partial content inside of a WordPress template, theme file, or even widgets. The PHP Snippet is a simple if statement that needs to be formatted like the following examples: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: Only one<\/strong> of the parameters below can be applied per code snippet.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPartial Content Codes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
