    hi to community,

    i have twirl my brain all day to find how i can show a button or something else inside a loop (single.php) if the logged in user is the author of the post.

    i have try all the conditional tags in the documentation…but with no luck…

    now i try this:

    <?php
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
if (is_user_logged_in() && (current_user_can('edit_posts') || $current_user->ID == $post->post_author) ) {
echo 'button or something';
}
?>

    but with this every logged in member can see the “button or something”,

    does anyone know how i can do this?

    thanks a lot,
    Philip

    ok, i found what i need/you need to do for this….

    first step:
    need to get the ID of the user viewing the page

    second step:
    need to check the ID against $post->post_author and echo some content

    so how to compile this:
    1. before the loop get the ID of the user viewing the page

    <?php
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
?>

    2. inside your loop check the ID against $post->post_author

    <?php
if ($post->post_author == $current_user->ID)
echo 'AUTHOR CONTENT HERE';
?>

    i know a lot of people searching a solution for this, hope you enjoy it…:)

    love you WordPress,
    all the best!!!

    Philip
