Using membership shortcodes to control visibility

[Hyperbits]

I’m trying to use shortcodes via a membership plugin PilotPress from OntraPort to control which links are visible to users based on their membership level, but I can’t seem to get it to work. I’ve tried creating the links as raw elements and wrapping them in the shortcodes but that doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

Example of the shortcode:
[show_if has_one=‘platinum’] content [/show_if]

Hi There @Hyperbits

Thanks for writing in! We don’t provide support for 3rd party plugins. However, I can provide some few tips to isolate your issue.

1. Try testing that short-code using a Text element in Cornerstone.

2. Try testing it on a general WordPress page without Cornerstone.

3. Try testing it on a different theme to isolate the issue further.

If you’re still having issues, I suggest you to contact the plugin author for assistance on this.

Thanks!

The Pilot Press short-codes work everywhere except inside of Cornerstone…

The problem is within Cornerstone. There is nowhere to put the code before and after a specific elements (like an image in this case). I would have to use Raw elements and when I try that, it simply disappears every-time.

All I am trying to do is hide some buttons on a course dashboard I created using images as buttons.

This is more of a work flow problem with page builders in general. The most common work around to this is to create your protected content as a global block, and then use the membership shortcode and global block shortcode inside of a text element or raw element in Pro. That way you can restrict any element you want, include whole sections.
