I have Found a Bug, Now what?
Simply use the Support Forum and thanks a head for doing that.
How can I Use the ShortCode to limit the content to a specific user id?
Simply use:
[O_U user_id=”1″]Content goes here[/O_U]
where 1 is the user id.
or to specify multiple users you can use:
[O_U user_id=”1,2,3″]Content goes here[/O_U]
where 1,2,3 are different user ids.
How can I Use the ShortCode to limit the content to a specific user name?
Simply use:
[O_U user_name=”Bainternet”]Content goes here[/O_U]
where Bainternet is the user name.
or to specify multiple users you can use:
[O_U user_name=”Bainternet,Steve,david”]Content goes here[/O_U]
where Bainternet,Steve,david are different user names.
How can I Use the ShortCode to limit the content to a specific user by role?
Simply use:
[O_U user_role=”Administrator”]Content goes here[/O_U]
where Administrator is the user role.
or to specify multiple user roles you can use:
[O_U user_name=”Administrator,Author,Contributor”]Content goes here[/O_U]
where Administrator,Author,Contributor are different user roles.
Can I use the shortcode more then once in a post?
YES you can use it as many times as you want eg:
[O_U user_role=”Administrator”]admin content goes here[/O_U]
[O_U user_name=”Bainternet,Steve,david”]specific users content goes here[/O_U]
Can I change the blocked massage for a specific shortcode?
YES you can just add your blocked message as a shortcode parameter eg:
[O_U user_role=”Administrator” blocked_meassage=”admins only!”]admin content goes here[/O_U]
Can I use the shortcode for logged in or looged out users?
Yep just use the logged_status parameter ex:
[O_U logged_status=”in”]You only see this if you are logged in[/O_U]
Or
[O_U logged_status=”out”]You only see this if you are logged out[/O_U]
