Check whether page is restricted

—

Hello, I’m simply trying to show/hide something on my page based on whether there are any group restrictions assigned to it.
I’m using this example code, but it is not working. The $post_is is returning correctly, but when I do a var_dump of $group_ids I get 0, regardless of whether groups are assigned to the page or not.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

$post_id = get_the_ID();
$group_ids = Groups_Post_Access::get_read_group_ids( $post_id );
if ( count( $group_ids ) > 0 ) {
// $group_ids holds one or more IDs of the groups that restrict read access to the post
echo 'This page is resticted';
} else {
echo 'there are no restrictions on this page';

    Hi Mike,

    Welcome back to our support forum. Your code snippet seems to be correct, but it also depends on how/where do you use the snippet? Have you checked if the returning post id actually belongs to a valid post? BTW, it would also be wise to check whether the post id exists or has a valid value.

    Kind regards,
    George

      Thanks for your reply, George.
      I did some further checking on the $post_id and discovered that it was returning the incorrect post id. So your hunch was correct.
      I replaced get_the_ID() with get_queried_object_id()
      That seems to have done the trick.
      Thanks!
