    Hi,

    When editing custom models and tables through the front end submission shortcode, is there a way to restrict the form to only loading when the author is signed in? similar to how you do this for posts/pages. With the message 'You are not allowed to edit this post.'.

    Thanks

    Nick

    Hello Nick,

    You can restrict the form to display only when the user logged in by using the PHP code and adding a condition to check it. For example: using the WordPress function is_user_logged_in()

    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
  //put the form shortcode here
}

    I hope that helps.

    Hi Peter,

    sorry you may have misunderstood my query, when i say Author i mean that the person who made the custom entry is the only user who can edit there posts. Is there any stored information about the author i can use to hide the custom table entry if they are not the author of the post?

    Hello Nick,

    Thanks, understood. However, the custom model doesn't have the author like WordPress post to show the entry when the author logged in. I will inform the development team to consider supporting that feature in future updates.
