    hi Brajesh,

    this is really helpful. Given that I have some other redirects going on (not directly related to this), I’m going to have to work through them all one at a time to make sure I’m not going into an endless (or pointless) loop anywhere. This might take me a little while, so it will probably be tomorrow before I can offer any proper feedback.

    At first sight this looke like either one or the other of these suggestions will do the job nicely. Many, many, thanks for your assistance!

    R.

    ok Brajesh,

    I think that having nothing to click will confuse people.

    A redirect to /login/ when non-logged-in tries to open an image is the best way forward. It might be annoying, but that’s ok 😉

    hi Brajesh,

    thanks for your patience here. Ok, well, it seems you are correct, I’m perplexed but double-checking shows no special media loops, no differences between when I enable/disable the Simple Lightbos, and if this changes I’ll let you know. However, to keep things simple I’ve disabled the Simple Lightbox now, just to be sure. So we’re only talking about your MP lightbox now. At least we’re on home ground 😉

    ok,

    I think the lightbox (2) would be the preferred approach, as then we should catch all expanded media. I’m not doing anything special via code for the lightbox. I’m just using “Simple Lightbox” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-lightbox/) and it seems to take over all lightbox related functions quite smoothly.

    Presumably, if we filter the lightbox load mechanism, or the returned URL, then there becomes nothing to click, and non-logged-in (or whatever) users only see the existing thumbnail – which is the intention.

    If this is clear…?

    hi Brajesh,

    I think I should wait for your extended restrictions plugin, before deciding (if that’s ok with you?), as it’s possible this will suffice. Then again, I might be tempted by the “fine-grained control” you mentioned to switch to the more elegant solution (the new plugin).

    Until you release at the end of the month (or whenever), I’ll dig around to see if I can find a filter to which I can map a role with the rate limiter. I may ask questions…

    ok, you mean I should buy the rate limit activity plugin first, (I don’t see a free version anywhere), and then we can chat about setting the filters up as I need them? That sounds fine, on it…

    ok, I was close but no potato. With your suggestion, Brajesh, I get no right-click, however the lightbox still opens on a left-click, so the user gets the large image without needing to go to the gallery view itself. So, this doesn’t quite do what I need, although it does do exactly what I asked. 🙂

    I’m also using “Simple Lightbox” to provide a simple… lightbox… (fyi.) Redirecting users to /login/ or /home/ if they’re not logged in would be the perfect solution, I think, if you have an example for that I’d greatly appreciate it.

    hi Brajesh,

    the impatient amongst us are just wondering if you might have an ETA for this?

    hi Brajesh,

    this private/public setting for blog posts works really well. Just one thing, when one of the 2 values is set and you reload the blog to edit it at some later date, neither value is set. So you have no idea which one is being currently used. This means, unless you want to set it to private=0 and public=0, you have to explictly set this value every time when you save the blog.

    A minor complaint to an otherwise functional feature. 🙂
