Conditional Statement for Post Form

  • Hi

    Trying to have a conditional statement in Prologue theme that shows a different form if a user is not a member (or not logged in). This is my attempt but it’s not working:

    <?php
	if( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/post-form.php';

	} else {

	if( current_user_can( 'level_0' ) ) require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/banner-form.php';

?>

  • See an example at Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

    I’ve seen several examples but can’t make it work with my specific instance. I’m pretty sure the code I’ve shown worked with the original Prologue, but perhaps someone can see an obvious problem with the ‘else’ statement.

    Cheers

    You probably want something like this:

    <?php
	if( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) {
        require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/post-form.php';
	} elseif( current_user_can( 'level_0' ) )
        require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/banner-form.php';
        }
?>

    Thanks for the help, but I’m afraid it doesn’t work. I get the same sort of error:

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in ////themes/P2/index.php on line 17”

    Any ideas?

    do you want to show a banner to regular visitors i am using wp greet box instead… like i did at https://trendblog.org

    scotm: I posted bad code. This is what you want:

    <?php
	if( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) {
        require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/post-form.php';
	} elseif( current_user_can( 'level_0' ) ) {
        require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/banner-form.php';
        }
?>

    Sorry for the mixup.
