    I’m sure this is a really silly question but why does this code not do what I expect. The if statement is never true even though the echo shows both $me and $name can be “admin”.

    $mypod = pods('user');
	$me=do_shortcode('[userinfo field="user_login"]');
  $mypod->find('name ASC'); 

while ( $mypod->fetch() ) {
     $name= $mypod->field('name');
	if($name == $me) {
    echo "This is an echo statement in loop/$me/$name/<br>";}

    echo "This is an echo statement after loop /$me/$name/<br>";
}

  • Try:

    $user = false;

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    $user = get_userdata( get_current_user_id() );
}

// also consider switching to this line for $name
$name = $mypod->field( 'user_login' );

// then in your loop, switch the if statement with this check
if ( !empty( $user ) && $name == $user->user_login ) )
