WordPress Invitation Code - How To - Limit Codes to Four Digits
Limiting Codes to Four Digits
Quick Read
- You can switch between codes with four digits or long ones.
- It's not possible to use long codes when the four-digits code mode is on.
What is This Feature
It's possible to switch between two types of code:
- Long codes
- Four-digit codes
This feature was added in version 1.2.4 of WordPress Invitation Code plugin. This mode causes some majors changes and this article will address them.
Settings
Head to Admin Dashboard → Invitation Code Content Access → Settings → General tab.
Only three settings are relevant to us, you can find them under the Code Specifications section:
- Enable four digits invitation code - Codes will have four digits only. They are not case-sensitive. As such, abc1 is the same as ABC1.
- Show prefix before four digits codes - If enabled, four-digit codes created sequentially can have prefixes.
- Example without prefix: 0000, 0001
Example with prefix: seq0000, seq0001
Prefix Enabled Changes Access Code Box
If enabled, the field "Enter prefix" will be shown too. For the code seq0000, the user will have to input seq 0 0 0 0, as shown:
Adding prefix to invitation codes
- Four digits invitation code pattern - Only works if "Enable four digits invitation code" is enabled. You can choose which characters will be included:
- Numbers and letters (0-9 and A-Z)
- Numbers only (0-9)
- Letters only (A-Z)
What Happens When You Turn On Four-Digit Codes
- New codes will be generated with four characters only
- The code box will change and ask for four digits only
- Codes with more than four digits WILL NOT work
What Happens When You Turn Off Four-Digit Codes
This is important.
- New codes will be generated with multiple characters
- The code box will revert back to original
- Codes created during Four Digits Mode (with only four characters) WILL work
TIP: Choosing What Codes The Access Form Will Request
You can change the Content Access Form so that it asks either the long codes or the four-digit codes.
To do so apply the shortcode [cmicca_access_code] with the view parameter.
-
[cmicca_access_code view=four]- The form will ask for long codes -
[cmicca_access_code view=four]- The form will ask for codes with four digits
