Woocommerce Membership Plugin – Hide Content Only

I am running Woocommerce with the newspaper as my theme and the Membership Plugin which allows restricted content, when I enable the “Hide Content Only” it will display the header and footer, but no formatting for the text, the source shows it seems to be pulling my template as I see article id=”template-id-76894..” but there is no formating, it is just raw text. Interesting on the AMP mobile version works great, so I know it is a template “thingy” not sure where to look and edit. I have the coding skills but not sure where to look or what to set up, I am sure this might be done with some child theme or maybe way off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm…Interesting, so I would have to change the default page for my entire site?

Is there a way to specify a template, like per tag or something?

This site has done it: https://www.businessreport.com/business/entrepreneur-cameron-jackson they aren’t using woocommerce I don’t believe, but that is the end result.

Is it possible to get some custom work done? The mobile side works, here is a live example: https://fortworthbusiness.com/opinion/richard-connor-canceling-the-rodeo-is-painful-but-its-the-right-thing-to-do/ you can see the desktop renders incorrectly, and when I use the twenty WordPress theme it works, so I know it is an issue with the Cloud Template rendering, I have the code experience but not sure how to manually interrupt or correct this. I would be interested if I have to pay to have your team develop a solution I would appreciate as we are committed to the WooCommerce and Membership plugin so this will be a long term, and of course, we are not dumping the Newspaper theme anytime soon. Thanks!

I don’t mind paying, but if the direction can be provided that would be great as I have the skills to fix when I know where to look. Thanks!

Okay, looking into file /td-cloud-library/shortcodes/single/tdb_single_content.php I see this: function render($atts, $content = null), I think that is where my problem lies, WooCommererce Membership passes a truncated text in $post_content_data[‘post_content’] and it seems that the rest of the script stops render, though the footer is there, I see a lot of missing scripting. Wonder if the Render script is breaking or something. I at least have more hope then I have in the past.

The function Render seems to work, but isn’t getting output correctly.

<div class=”td_block_wrap tdb_single_content tdi_99_54b td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1 td-post-content tagdiv-type” data-td-block-uid=”tdi_99_54b” >

That is the begging of what is in buffy from Render but is not displayed again on the page. Trying to locate which script calls Render and what happens with return data.

I found that the render part is working, it is something afterwards. What script calls the render function? I was looking in all the other plugin files and can’t find I guess the global script that renders the all the pages. Render function is outputting correctly but I don’t know what script calls it. I don’t know if it is part of Newspapers “master” program?

Okay, maybe you might be able to isolate this issue for me, so I use the TD Cloud Library and I have Standard Pack disabled. When I use the Post Settings and select a “Custom Blank – Single Template” from Cloud Library and I removed the header/footer to just rule out code from that, I get the improper rendering as displayed here: https://fortworthbusiness.com/opinion/richard-connor-your-first-vote-is-a-vote-you-should-always-remember/ which again looks fine on the mobile version.

Now, I used the settings above for a test article located here: https://fortworthbusiness.com/uncategorized/test-article/ and reproduce the same incorrect formating, if I change the Post Settings to “Default – Single Template” it renders properly.

I believe that is part you alluded to early with using the non-cloud library template, but how could I fix this in a cloud library template? I also for testing using the Blank Single Template Cloud with just the post content so something in the way processing that is content causing it not to render using a cloud template but works with the default single template? I know I had this same issue with MemberPress and their use of restrict content with excerpts. So my thinking is how plugins edit the Post Content is universal, but how Cloud Library renders is different than how it renders the “Default – Single Template” which I assume is a file template?

Not sure if this is in a JS call or PHP backend, my guess it is in the PHP somewhere for how the TD Cloud Library renders a final page.

Update: I have a workaround if someone else is having this same issue.
File: /woocommerce-memberships/includes/Restrictions/Posts.php.
Function: public function handle_restriction_modes() {
If Statement: if ( ‘hide’ !== $restriction_mode || $is_rest_api_request ) {

// ensure the restricted post content data is persisted even when third parties try to filter it
//add_filter( ‘the_content’, array( $this, ‘handle_restricted_post_content_filtering’ ), 999 );

Comment out the “add_filter” and then Woocommerce Membership plugin will display the restricted content properly with Cloud Libray Template.

I Will update when I have a proper solution. Looking to add this as a snippet so updates to files won’t affect this alteration.

Hi “Elvisfrog”, Could you pass on your email so I can ask you how did you overcame this limitation?
We are having the same issue. If you dont mind it would be nice to exchange some info. Thanks

I have to update the fix with the latest update of Membership plugin, which incorporates the excerpt length, so though I still think further is needed to properly address this issue as I believe it is related to the unique way the TD Cloud Templates works.

The first one below has to comment out, for some reason when enabled you won’t see images.
File: /woocommerce-memberships/includes/Restrictions/Posts.php.
Function: public function handle_restriction_modes()
// ensure the restricted post content data is persisted even when third parties try to filter it
Comment out ->//add_filter( ‘the_content’, array( $this, ‘handle_restricted_post_content_filtering’ ), 999 );

With the update Membership you have to comment this as well:
File:/woocommerce-memberships/includes/class-wc-memberships-user-messages.php
Function: private static function trim_excerpt( $the_post ) {​​​​
if ( true === (bool) apply_filters( ‘wc_memberships_message_excerpt_apply_the_content_filter’, true ) ) {​​​​​​​​​​​
/** This filter is documented in wp-includes/post-template.php */
Comment Out ->//$excerpt = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $excerpt );
}​​​​​​​​​​​

The last one seems to cause the server to an internal error, I have seen this with other plugins and TD Library files. Like I said I wish I can find a proper solution, but this does solve the issue and renders a page like this: https://fortworthbusiness.com/real-estate/om-housing-kennedale/

Hope this helps.

You couldn’t make memberpress work with the theme, right?

Not the way I wanted it to. It works great once I commented out those two lines. I hope to discover the root cause. This is only needed if you are using the “Hide Content Only” with “Show Excerpts” part of Membership, if you redirect or hide completely, there isn’t a problem. I love this theme and equally the membership plugin w/ woocommerce subscription great combination.

I have a different membership plugin custom built.
I fixed it by making changing the filter priority to 1.

It used to be add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘ra_filter_content’,10 );
Changed to
add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘ra_filter_content’,1 );

don’t know why it works, but it does.
