Purpose

The [protect-content] shortcode can be used to show or hide small sections of content based on role or status.

Usage

It has three parameters:

operation
Whether to show or hide the content if the conditions are met. Valid values: show or hide (default: show)
role
Which role(s) to require or forbid. Valid values: the internal name of any role (e.g. administrator, non-member, etc.), comma-separated if more than one (default: null)
status
Which status to require or forbid. Valid values: logged-in or logged-out (defaults to null)

Examples

Each code example is followed by the actual shortcode, but you’ll only see it if you meet the conditions.

3M pledge wall raises more than $14K for ATSS Foundation

This year’s 3M pledge wall raised $14,820 for The ATSS Foundation. This was the seventh year 3M has operated the virtual wall fundraiser, which ran from the start of the year through the end of ATSSA’s Convention & Traffic Expo. 3M launched the event with an offer to match up to $5,000 in donations. When the tally fell just short of that figure—at $4,820—the company elected to provide the full match. Those funds plus 3M’s $5,000 sponsorship provided The Foundation with a total of $14,820. ATSS Foundation Vice Chair Peter Johnston stands in front of the 3M Pledge Wall on the Traffic Expo floor during ATSSA's 2023 Convention & Traffic Expo in Phoenix in February.
