    Hi there,
    I am trying to hide all external links from guests. It will say for instant “You must be logged in to see the link”. I am using both buddypress and bbpress.
    I found a code snippet. But I don’t know how to modify it for my case.

    <?php
    function hide_links($post_content) {
    if ( in_category( array( ‘YOUR CAT ID’, ‘YOUR CAT ID’) )) {
    global $wpdb;

    return ($post_content = !is_user_logged_in()?preg_replace(‘/<a(.*?)>(.*?)<\/a>/m’, ‘<div style=”color:red;font-size:12px;”> YOUR TEXT</div>’,$post_content):$post_content);
    }

    }
    add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘hide_links’)

    ?>

    Can anyone help me please?

    Regards,
    Metu

    Hello Metu,

    Thank you for posting here. Please use the following code in your active theme ‘functions.php’ file.

    
function bd_hide_external_link( $content ) {

	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return $content;
	}

	$content = preg_replace_callback('/<a\s[^>]*?href=([\'"])(.+?)\1\s?[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/a>/im', function ($matches){
                // replace the domain name with your domain
		if ( strpos( $matches[2], 'facebook.com' ) !== false ){
			return $matches[0];
		}
		// for external url
		return '<a href="#">Login Please to see the link</a>';

	}, $content );

	return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'bd_hide_external_link' );

    Thank You
    Ravi

    Thank you so much Ravi for your kind reply. This snippet is working fine for blog posts. But it is not working for bbpress. Is it possible to modify the code accordingly?

    Hello Metu, Ledoan,

    Thank you for asking. Please try use the following code:

    
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bd_hide_external_link' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bd_hide_external_link' );

    It will hide links from topic and reply content. Please do let me know if works or not.

    Regards
    Ravi
