‘user_can_read’ returns true

Hi,

I am currently relying on

Groups_Post_Access::user_can_read_post($post_id, $user_id);

this returns true even if a user has no access to a post which is in a restricted category.

I also tried

Groups_Restrict_Categories::user_can_read($post_id, $user_id);

This behaves even more strange: If I check when current user is admin (user id 1) for anonymous user (user id 0) the result is FALSE (correct).


# Current user is Admin (User ID 1)
wp> Groups_Restrict_Categories::user_can_read(269, 0);
=> bool(false)
# => CORRECT!


If I run the function as anonymous user, it returns TRUE (incorrect).

# Current user is Admin (User ID 1)
wp> Groups_Restrict_Categories::user_can_read(269, 0);
=> bool(true)
# => INCORRECT!


I investigated a little bit and I think this is because get_terms() function is filtered and returns no terms if current user has no access to these terms.

Please help me to find a way to check if a user has access to a post. Thanks.

Update:

In class Groups_Restrict_Categories the method user_can_read returns an empty array for the post’s term if current user has no access to terms. So it makes no sense to check for these categories.
It could be fixed by temporarily removing the filter list_terms_exclusions before get_the_terms.

I fixed it myself by filtering “Groups_Post_Access::user_can_read_post”.
