Display custom post type posts within the_content filter

[asiek]

I’m using a custom post type labeled “textures” and in the page template that displays all posts within that post type. I decided last minute to add the WP-members plugin in order to deny access to viewers who aren’t registered. When viewing front end, nothing works at all. The login/registration forms aren’t displayed at all. Only the content that is suppose to be blocked. Later on I realized the plugin will only work if

<?php the_content(); ?> is used. So I replaced this//

[?php /* Loop the stuff from the videos post type */
              $args = array( 'post_type' => 'textures', 'posts_per_page' => 50);
              $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
              while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();?]

                <li>
                    <figure>
                        [?php the_post_thumbnail('thummy'); ?]
                        <figcaption>
                            <h3>[?php the_title(); ?]</h3>
                            [?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {
                            $large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large');
                            echo '[a href="' . $large_image_url[0] . '" title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" >View Full Image</a]'; }?>
                        </figcaption>
                    </figure>
                </li>

            [?php endwhile;?]

with this//

   <ul class="grid cs-style-3">
    [?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?]
        [?php the_content(); ?]
    [?php endwhile; ?]
    [?php endif; ?]
    </ul>

and tried to use this code within my functions.php file, hoping it will display the desired content within the_content function//

function new_default_content($content) {
global $post;
if ($post->post_type == 'textures') {
$content .='<li>';
$content .='<figure>';
$content .= the_post_thumbnail('thummy');
$content .= '<figcaption>';
$content .= '<h3>';
$content .= the_title();
$content .= '</h3>';
$content .= '<span>Cool stuff brah.</span>';

 if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {
    $large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large');
    echo '[a href="' . $large_image_url[0] . '" title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" >View Full Image[/a]'; 
 }
        $content .= '</figcaption>';
    $content .= '</figure>';
$content .= '</li>';
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'new_default_content');

After doing that the forms are displayed but when I view the blocked page, after logging in, the content is no where to be found. The blocked page is just blank.

So my question is, how can I use the WP-members plugin with custom post types? Since CPTs require a query to display all posts…

Hope that makes sense :/
I tried my best explaining the issue.
Please help.

Can you highlight your code and click the ‘block code’ button?

[asiek]

@chrisburton Yes I realized the code was totally messed up. So I fixed it :) Thank you :D

[Alen]

the_post_thumbnail and the_title are used to echo data, try using get_the_post_thumbnail and get_the_title inside your function.

@alen I followed your instructions, but the issue still occurs :( Thanks for your time and help though.

FOUND A SOLUTION
I remembered that you can add content inside of shortcodes.
So I created my own shortcode [textures_content]//

    add_shortcode( 'textures_content', 'textures_shortcode' );
function textures_shortcode( $atts ) {
    ob_start();
    $query = new WP_Query( array(
        'post_type' => 'textures',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'order' => 'ASC',
        'orderby' => 'date',
    ) );
    if ( $query->have_posts() ) { ?>
            <?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
                <li>
                    <figure>
                        <?php the_post_thumbnail('thummy'); ?>
                        <figcaption>
                            <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
                            <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {
                            $large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large');
                            echo '<a href="' . $large_image_url[0] . '" title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" >View Full Image</a>'; }?>
                        </figcaption>
                    </figure>
                </li>
            <?php endwhile;
            wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
    <?php $myvariable = ob_get_clean();
    return $myvariable;
    }
} 

Copied and pasted the shortcode and now it works perfectly!!!!!!
