Show field based on user role (if else)

  • Hi everyone,

    I just need a little bit of help with an if else to show a custom field I have created to users based on their user role.

    If they are a certain user role, or even a certain user role and/or higher i was this to show

    <p>MAP: <?php the_field(‘map’); ?></p>

    I can’t seem to figure it out after looking around all day.

  • The codex has a comprehensive page on roles and capabilities. Roles and Capabilities page

    Long story short though, you’re probably looking to use the current_user_can() function. Pass it a role name, capability name, or an array of either, and you’ll receive boolean answers. Good luck!

    Are you able to help me with this? I can’t seem to figure it out properly.

    what have you tried? If you show your code, maybe I can point out where things have gone wrong ??

    if( is_super_admin() ):
    echo the_field('msrp');
else:
    echo '';
endif;
?>

		<?php
if( is_super_admin() ):
    echo the_field('map');
else:
    echo '';
endif;

    Are you sure you’re a network admin? Super Admins are only used in multisite installations. In a “normal” WP installation, you probably want to target the Administrator user instead with is_admin()

    Yes it works, I just don’t know how I would implement (using s2member) level 2 member and above, or something or the sort

    or even just one level would be fine too

    This sounds like you should be asking in their support forum for that, then ?? https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/s2member

    Or try and see if the current_user_can() function I mentioned above will work with their roles: I don’t know since I haven’t played with their framework. Good luck!
