Conditional Content - Author only

Ty's Avatar Ty
Hello, first of all, so glad to have found you guys!

Question: I am trying to build a customer portal in which the articles can only be accessible including viewing by the article author. In other words, if customer 112 logs in, he can only read articles that he's the author.

Is this scalable in a sense that active user ID matching author ID of the articles can be defined as a custom rule and I just need to reference the custom rule maybe as header and footer?

Thank you,

Ty

Conditional Content can only control the access to the parts of the content surrounded by the plugin tags.
It does not control the access to the articles themselves.

That's fine as I can't seem to find a better workaround. So as long as I put in the syntax at the beginning of every article, it will effectively restrict viewing of the content itself to specified users, correct?

Yes, correct.
Well, not the syntax at just the beginning. Also the closing tag at the end.
