content shown based on user role?

  • since we can let wp decide whether to show certain content based on the user login status, is it also possible to do this based on user role? e.g. show the link to backend to Contributor+ users, but subscribers don’t see the link.

  • Not clear exactly where the link is shown. If you have access to the code that shows the link, you can use an if-test based on the user’s role or capability using the current_user_can function.

    @vtxyzzy Thanks, your reply helps.

    I’m building a site using wp+bp, I want to make the backend of the main blog available only to selected users rather than everyone who has registered, since subscribers have little to do in wp backend.
