Restrict Access with Post Code

Yes you can. I also assume that you want to restrict access for users who are not logged in (guests) whose zip code is unknown for those pages?

function my_restrict_access() {
    $category = get_queried_object();
	
    if ( $category ) {
        $category_id = isset( $category->term_id );
		
        // uncomment line below for debug purposes, this will show you the category id on the current category page
        // echo $category_id;
	
        if( $category_id == 15 ) {
            if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
                wp_redirect( '/' );
                exit;
            } 
            else {
                global $woocommerce;
                $customer = new WC_Customer();
                $customer_postcode = $woocommerce->customer->get_billing_postcode();
				
                // uncomment line below for debug purposes, this will show you the postcode on the current page
		// echo $customer_postcode;
				
		if ( $customer_postcode == 9000 ) {
		    wp_redirect( '/' );
		    exit;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_restrict_access');

Hi,

When validating on the post code, you can add an array with allowed post codes, and then adjust the validation accordingly

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php

function my_restrict_access() {
    $category = get_queried_object();
	
    if ( $category ) {
        $category_id = isset( $category->term_id );
		
        // uncomment line below for debug purposes, this will show you the category id on the current category page
        // echo $category_id;
	
        if( $category_id == 15 ) {
            if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
                wp_redirect( '/' );
                exit;
            } 
            else {
                global $woocommerce;
                $customer = new WC_Customer();
                $customer_postcode = $woocommerce->customer->get_billing_postcode();
				
                // uncomment line below for debug purposes, this will show you the postcode on the current page
                // echo $customer_postcode;

                $allowed_post_code = array(3610, 3626, 3650);
				
                if ( !in_array($customer_postcode, $allowed_post_code) ) {
                    wp_redirect( '/' );
                    exit;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_restrict_access');

Regards

1) copy/paste my code to functions.php
2) uncomment the following rules

//echo $category_id;

&

// echo $customer_postcode;

3) post the result of the output here (sreenshot) or link to one of your category pages

okay, and what’s the category id of that page? I don’t see the output printed on that page anywhere?

Can you try the following steps?

Step 1) Copy/paste this code, execute and view the page

function my_restrict_access() {
    echo 'step 1 works!';
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_restrict_access');

Step 2) If step 1 works, replace the code with the one from step 2

function my_restrict_access() {
    $category = get_queried_object();
	
    if ( $category ) {
        echo 'step 2 works!';
    } else {
        echo 'step 2 NOT works!';
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_restrict_access');

Step 3) If step 2 works, perform step 3… replace code with the one from step 3

function my_restrict_access() {
    $category = get_queried_object();
	
    if ( $category ) {
        $category_id = isset( $category->term_id );
        if( $category_id == 3078 ) {
            echo 'step 3 works!';
        } else {
            echo 'step 3 NOT works!';
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_restrict_access');

Up to which step does the code work without problems?

Okay, good job! something goes wrong with the category id, can you try the next piece of code and post the output here?

Regards

function my_restrict_access() {		
    if ( is_product_category() ) {
        $category = get_queried_object();
		
        if ( $category ) {
            echo '<pre>', print_r($category, 1), '</pre>';
		
            $category_id = $category->term_id;
		
            echo '1 = ' . $category_id . '<br>';
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_restrict_access');

@thoseitguys hmm, can you try the updated code?

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restrict-access-with-post-code/#post-12380675

It looks like the category id now works without problems, so you can use this code.

You can of course always adjust this with other functionalities that meet your wishes.

Here you will find some examples: https://businessbloomer.com/?s=categorie

function my_restrict_access() {		
    if ( is_product_category() ) {
        $category = get_queried_object();
		
        if ( $category ) {
	    $category_id = $category->term_id;
			
	    if( $category_id == 3076 ) {
		if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
		    wp_redirect( '/' );
		    exit;
	        } else {
		    global $woocommerce;
		    $customer = new WC_Customer();
		    $customer_postcode = $woocommerce->customer->get_billing_postcode();
					
		    // uncomment line below for debug purposes, this will show you the postcode on the current page
		    //echo $customer_postcode;

		    $allowed_post_code = array(3610, 3626, 3650);
					
		    if ( !in_array($customer_postcode, $allowed_post_code) ) {
			wp_redirect( '/' );
			exit;
		    }

	    }
        }
    }
