I have Found a Bug, Now what?
Simply use the [Support Forum](https://wordpress.org/tags/user-specific-content?forum_id=10)
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]
## Reviews
### [Amazing! Perfectly! Thank you so much!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-perfectly-thank-you-so-much/)
[Aleksandr Novik](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sashaborofey/) marzo 27, 2022
The plugin works! Just look at the FAQ, everything is written there in clear language!
The usernames may match (my case), so insert in functions.php code below to see
user IDs: function true_user_id_column( $columns ) { $columns['user_id'] = 'ID';
return $columns; } add_filter('manage_users_columns', 'true_user_id_column'); function
true_user_id_column_content($value, $column_name, $user_id) { if ( 'user_id' ==
$column_name ) return $user_id; return $value; } add_action('manage_users_custom_column','
true_user_id_column_content', 10, 3); function true_user_id_column_style(){ echo'
'; } add_action('admin_head-users.php','
true_user_id_column_style'); Then just select the ID of the desired user or users,
use the plugin shortcode and that’s it! P.S. The code for displaying user IDs in
the WP user menu is not mine. Unfortunately I can’t attach a link to the source.
I will only say that this is the misha.agency website.
### [Does not work when Role name and slug are different](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-work-when-role-name-and-slug-are-different/)
[munizasultan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/munizasultan/) agosto 7, 2018
It does not work correctly when user role name and role slug are different for example
Role name is ‘Member’ and slug is ‘abc_member’.
### [Works as advertised](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-advertised-543/)
[ssiruguri](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ssiruguri/) junio 23, 2018
It does what I needed – restrict post read access to specific users
### [Works just fine](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-just-fine-105/)
[muttznutz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/muttznutz/) febrero 7, 2018
Initial problem, as my template wrote content from outside the the WP $content variable,
which wasn’t secured. Sorted it out with output buffering. All is good now.
### [Works for me!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-for-me-262/)
[Fellipe Sanches](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fellipe-sanches/) junio 16, 2017
It’s all 🙂
