Allow private custom posts type to list in map for registered users

[Adage]

Hello and thank you for the great plugin,
I have a custom post type and a map that shows it all.
Now, I set some of the posts to “private” in order to give access to them only for registered users.
But the map loads without them, even for a registered user !
How can I include private posts in my map for registered users ?
Thank you very much !

Hello Adage,
By default, GEO my WP is set to only display posts set as “Published”. However, there is a hook that allows you to change the arguments pass to the WP_Query.

The filter hook is ‘gmw_pt_search_query_args’ and can be found in geo-my-wp/plugins/posts/includes/gmw-pt-search-query-class.php.

Using this hook and a custom function you can modify the ‘post_status’ argument into array( ‘publish’, ‘private’ ).

I hope that helps.

Hello,
Instead of using Private vs. Public posts, I’d rather use User Roles.
For instance, users with “editor” role will see all posts, but “author” will see only some.
Is there an extension of hook that allows this ?
Thank you very much.
