Hi. Just got the Pro plugin working but one feature seems to be missing: hiding content if the user is a Patreon backer. This is functionality found in member plugins such as memberpress which allow you to easily hide things (such as ads) to those who are supporting you.

Is there any chance we could get this functionality added? Feels pretty trivial to me - admittedly as a non developer and it’d be incredibly useful (in fact it’s the only thing I need from the plugin right now).

Thanks

Alternatively - if someone could help me on how to create a custom short code and plugin which checks the state of Patreon\_Wordpress::$current\_user\_is\_patron and sets true/false the value of the shortcode, this would work as an interim solution.

Any guidance much appreciated.
