I would like to make the “City” and “State” fields public, but the actual street address private. Is this possible? I do know php, so if you can point me in the right direction I might be able to figure it out.

Sorry, there is nothing built in to do this and likely something that will not be added, it is too niche of a feature, sorry.

One possibility you can investigate …

You could hook into the cn_address filter. And remove or leave the street address based on the current logged in user’s capabilities.

This is not tested or even working code but will point you in the direction:

add_filter( 'cn_address', 'cn_private_street_address' );

function cn_private_street_address( $address ) {

  if ( ! current_user_can('manage_options') ) {

    unset( $address->line_1 );
    unset( $address->line_2 );
    unset( $address->line_3 );
  }

}

What this should do, is if a user can not manage_options which is a default capability for the Admin role only in WordPress:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

Basically this should make the address visible to only admins.

The only possible gotcha is that you might lose the street address is a user with a role that is not an admin edits an entry.

Hope that helps!

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response Steven. I didn’t use your approach, but it did lead me in the right direction. Instead, I’ve just edited the card.php file and added is_user_logged_in() condition on any fields I wanted to FORCE to be private. For example, we always want phone numbers to be private, and sometimes forget to check the radio box for private. So I changed this:

if ( $atts['show_phone_numbers'] )

To be this:

if ( $atts['show_phone_numbers'] && is_user_logged_in() )

That seemed to do the trick!

Yep, that’ll work too. Glad to hear you found a solution that works for you.
