Question about roles

    Hi Simon,

    Hope this question is not too unrelated to the plugin:

    The following code

    $role = get_role( 'editor' );
$role->add_cap( 'hide_from_intercom' );

    Is that only applicable to your plugin or does it work if I pasted the snippet from Intercom myself?

    I’m looking for just the very short snippet to exclude Admins and Editors from being sent to Intercom!

    That would only work with my plugin, because the code that checks for the hide_from_intercom capability is WordPress-specific, it’s not part of Intercom’s snippet code.

    If you’re pasting the snippet yourself (without the plugin), then you could do something like this:

    if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_others_posts' ) ) {
    // code to display the snippet goes here
}

    That checks that the user does not have the edit_others_posts capability (which is usually only assigned to editors and above) in order to display the snippet.

    Hope that helps!
    Simon
