Basically it adds a meta box to the post or page edit screen and lets the user select specific users by name or roles and then when you call that page content using “the_content();” function it check using “the_content” filter if the current user is one of the users you have selected or if his role match’s the roles you have selected and shows the content, otherwise it displays a message

I have Found a Bug, Now what?

Simply use the Support Forum and thanks a head for doing that.

How can I Use the ShortCode to limit the content to a specific user id?

Simply use:
[O_U user_id=”1″]Content goes here[/O_U]
where 1 is the user id.
or to specify multiple users you can use:
[O_U user_id=”1,2,3″]Content goes here[/O_U]
where 1,2,3 are different user ids.

How can I Use the ShortCode to limit the content to a specific user name?

Simply use:
[O_U user_name=”Bainternet”]Content goes here[/O_U]
where Bainternet is the user name.
or to specify multiple users you can use:
[O_U user_name=”Bainternet,Steve,david”]Content goes here[/O_U]
where Bainternet,Steve,david are different user names.

How can I Use the ShortCode to limit the content to a specific user by role?

Simply use:
[O_U user_role=”Administrator”]Content goes here[/O_U]
where Administrator is the user role.
or to specify multiple user roles you can use:
[O_U user_name=”Administrator,Author,Contributor”]Content goes here[/O_U]
where Administrator,Author,Contributor are different user roles.

Can I use the shortcode more then once in a post?

YES you can use it as many times as you want eg:
[O_U user_role=”Administrator”]admin content goes here[/O_U]
[O_U user_name=”Bainternet,Steve,david”]specific users content goes here[/O_U]

Can I change the blocked massage for a specific shortcode?

YES you can just add your blocked message as a shortcode parameter eg:
[O_U user_role=”Administrator” blocked_meassage=”admins only!”]admin content goes here[/O_U]

Can I use the shortcode for logged in or looged out users?

Yep just use the logged_status parameter ex:
[O_U logged_status=”in”]You only see this if you are logged in[/O_U]
Or
[O_U logged_status=”out”]You only see this if you are logged out[/O_U]
