Hide for user roles, Widget name

Hi

You can use this small code snippen to get all of the widgets IDs:

function display_widget_ids() {
    global $wp_registered_widgets;

    // Get the names of all active widgets
    $active_widgets = get_option('sidebars_widgets');

    echo '<pre>';
    foreach ($active_widgets as $widget_area => $widgets) {
        if (!empty($widgets)) {
            echo "Widgets in '$widget_area':\n";
            foreach ($widgets as $widget_id) {
                echo " - $widget_id\n";
            }
            echo "\n";
        }
    }
    echo '</pre>';
}

add_action('wp_footer', 'display_widget_ids');

Our filter widget should be wpc_filters_widget

Our plugin does not have any restrictions for user roles, so it can be only done by other plugins or custom functionality.

Wow. Awesome. If it worked for me. ??

Neither it displays widget names nor hides the widget.

Found this snipped to hide widgets for user roles:

/**
* Hide_widgets_role_based
* @author Ohad Raz <[email protected]>
*/
class Hide_widgets_role_based{
    $has_selector = false;
    $js_selector = '';
    $roles_hide =array();
    /**
     * class constructor
     * @author Ohad Raz <[email protected]>
     * @param array $args [description]
     */
    function __construct($args = array()){
        if (is_admin())
            add_action('widgets_init', array($this,'hide', 999));
    }

    /**
     * the money function that hides the widgets on the admin side when the user has a specific role
     * @return void
     */
    public function hide(){
        global $pagenow;
        if ($pagenow == 'widgets.php'){
            global $current_user;
            get_currentuserinfo();
            $sperator = "";
            foreach ($this->roles_hide as $role => $widgets) {
                if ($this->has_role($role)){
                    foreach ((array)$widgets as $w_id) {
                        unregister_widget( $w_id );
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }


    /**
     * add a widget to hide per role
     * @param string $role   role name
     * @param string $widget widget id
     */
    public function addHide($role,$widget){
        if (is_array($widget)){
            $tmp = isset($roles_hide[$role])? $roles_hide[$role]: array();
            $roles_hide[$role] = array_merge($tmp, (array)$widget);
        }else{
            $roles_hide[$role][] = $widget;
        }
    }

    /**
     * has_role check if a user has a role
     * @param  int  $user_id user id
     * @return boolean          
     */
    public function has_role($user_id = null){
        if ( is_numeric( $user_id ) )
            $user = get_userdata( $user_id );
        else
            $user = wp_get_current_user();

        if ( empty( $user ) )
        return false;

        return in_array( $role, (array) $user->roles );
    }
}

$widgets_hide = new Hide_widgets_role_based();
$widgets_hide->addHide('guest','wpc_filters_widget');

Hi @mailchef

We are glad to hear that the issue was resolved.

Not resolved. that’s why I said “If it worked for me :-(“

Hi @mailchef

You can use something very simple like this:

function show_widget_for_admin() {
    // Check if a user is logged in
    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
        // Get the current user object
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();

        // Check if the current user has the 'administrator' role or any other needed one
        if (in_array('administrator', $current_user->roles)) {
            // Display the shortcode of FE widget
            echo do_shortcode( '[fe_widget]' );
        }
    }
}

// Hook the function to a needed place for example it was hooked to the footer
add_action('wp_footer', 'show_widget_for_admin');

It will show the shortcode of the FE widget or not, depending on the user role, very simple yet effective.
