How To: Restrict sections of your blog to non login readers.

Sometimes, there are portions of site that may not suitable for the random public.
Now, there’s a cool trick to hide part of your article but still can be seen by a member who is “logged-in”! Don’t be confused though; this trick does not hide the whole article but only portions that you want.

Changing the WordPress core files can be a real hassle, and really should be left alone to a expert user. So we should avoid that nightmare, and take advantage of function.php instead.

Functions.php is a useful thing from WordPress template file. This file can be used as a way to add
your own functions to WordPress themes just like a plugin to your theme. If you don’t find function.php in your theme folder, you can just create it from a blank file.

below is the script you can add to your function.php

After that, enter the following tag code [hide] to the section that you want to hide.

Examples like this: [hide] section or paragraph you want to hide [/ hide]

Anything inside [hide] and [/hide] will not visible to public, so you can safely hide any sensitive content from public.

What the reader that is ‘logged in’ will see…

And what a reader that is logged out will see…

And if you don’t want to hide a fraction of your content but rather the entire article or blog, WordPress has a nice and simple plugin for this!
