Is it possible to just restrict the button and not entirely the page or a post?

Are the mentioned buttons coded into your theme, or are you adding them in a post/page?

If the former, you can wrap the buttons in the following code:

if(current_user_can("<role>") {
button ...
}

If the latter, you can wrap the buttons in the following shortcode:

[restrict role="<role>"]
button ...
[/restrict]

Let me know if this answers your question.

Hey Joachim,

I’ve used the latter in my website. I was wondering whether the code snippet you’ve given hides the button from other role users. That’s what I was trying to achieve.

Yes, the shortcode will hide the button for users with other roles than stated.
Administrators will by default be able to see all restricted content.

Hey Joachim,

I’ve tried your code snippet, I guess it works for built-in roles and not for the custom defined ones. And also I wanted to be sure whether to enclose the role in angular brackets or they have to be removed?

Like this,

[restrict role=”<role>”]

Or like this,

[restrict role=”role”]

If you want to target Access Levels, you should do this instead:

[restrict level="name-of-level"]

For roles, yes, you should omit < >, for example:

[restrict role="editor"]
