Hide Posts for User Without Access

Memberships & subscriptions
1

When a user isn’t logged in, post titles are still displaying on the homepage and if they know the name of a tag. I’d like to hide the post titles unless a member is signed in and is part of a membership tier that can view the post.

I tried modifying the theme files to add the access variable, but that doesn’t seem to work. Now nobody can see the post titles!

Here’s a snippet of code from the modified tag page -

    {{#if access}}
    <div class="post-feed gh-feed gh-canvas">
        {{#foreach posts}}
            {{> "loop"}}
        {{/foreach}}
    </div>

    {{pagination}}
    {{else}}
    <h3 style="margin: auto; width: 50%; padding: 10px;">You need to be a member to view posts.  Click "Subscribe" in the upper-right to begin!</h3>
    {{/if}}

How do I fix this, or what have I done wrong? Everybody is seeing the text of the else statement.

Here’s the article I was looking at - Ghost Theme Development: Building custom membership flows

Access is specific to individual posts. So you’d need to move the logic into the loop partial. Or perhaps if you have a mix of public and not public content, you’ll want to retrieve different content based on @member.paid or @member being truthy.

Member Paid doesn’t necessarily mean the member can access something if there’s multiple membership tiers.

What do you mean by move the logic into the loop?

Right now you’re trying to check access generically, not in the context of a post. You need to check within the context of a single post, whether the user can access that post.
