WordPress shortcode: Display content to registered users only

Ever wanted to be able to show some content only to registered users in your blog posts? If yes, just read this recipe, which contains an awesome shortcode to do it!

Just paste the following code on your functions.php file:

add_shortcode( 'member', 'member_check_shortcode' );

function member_check_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
	 if ( is_user_logged_in() && !is_null( $content ) && !is_feed() )
		return $content;
	return '';
}

Once done, you can add the following to your posts to create a portion or text (or any other content) that will be only displayed to registered users:

[member]
This text will be only displayed to registered users.
[/member]

That's all. Easy and useful!

Credits goes to Justin Tadlock for this awesome recipe!

Hi! Great tutorial, but i was wondering how i can put a message for when someone tries to access that restricted area, but after being logged in the message goes away. Thanks!
