Reply To: restricting display to certain roles?

@ Kera

Ok, now I more fully understand. When you need is an action which sets an entry to unlisted when a user role switches from “Active” to “Lapsed” and visa versa. Something like this could work.

function cn_user_role( $user_id, $role, $old_roles ) {

    // Check to see if the user is linked to an entry, if not, bail.
    if ( ! $entry_id = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'connections_entry_id', TRUE ) ) return;

    // Change the entry status based on user role.
    switch ( $role ) {

        case 'lapsed':

            cnEntry_Action::visibility( 'unlisted', $entry_id );
            break;

        case 'active':

            cnEntry_Action::visibility( 'public', $entry_id );
            break;

    }

}

add_action( 'set_user_role', 'cn_user_role', 10, 2 );
