    Hi,

    I am interested in the Protect post type addon, but there is no documentation about it on your site. I want to see how it works, screenshots or videos and there is nothing (Well, there is. Two screenshots, which explain very little.).

    For example, these are some of my doubts:
    1. By using my own CPT, I will be able to use Gutenberg Editor or your plugin will activate editor classic?
    2. How will my created posts be displayed, with the same templates of your plugin, or I can format them with elementor or other plugins?

    Sorry, but buying a plugin blindly is not a very good idea.

    Hi,

    Yes, you’re right, a documentation for this add-on would be great. As it is not ready for now, let me answer your questions.

    1. You’ll be able to use any editor since we don’t automatically wrap custom protected CPT in the standard layout of our area.
    2. Let’s take a random plugin from WP.org, something that create a CPT, like Simple WP Events.
       – You’ll first select the CPT in our settings options
       

       – Then add an event. You’ll see our assignations boxes, so you make those events privates, and you’ll be able to notify using WPCA
       

       

       – As you can see in the screenshots, we decided to NOT reuse our global interface when using a custom protected post type, because that would automatically break any component integrated. But that’s maybe something that can be improved (we have a function named cuar_the_single_content, created to be used in custom themes templates, that should print the headers of the area… Thgis function should be enhanced, depending on your needs, but that could be a start).

       – The events post will be protected in the background. Eg, if you select “any registered user” as post assignation, a non-subscribed user will see the site’s register form instead of being able to see the post

    Do not hesitate if you have some others questions.

    Regards.
