Show only to logged in users and roles

This is how I solved it:
I added the following function to functions.php:

/*adding custom values to Elementor Ele conditions*/
add_filter( ‘eleconditions_vars’, ‘myuser_loggedin’);
function myuser_loggedin ( $custom_vars ) {
$custom_vars=is_user_logged_in();
}

I set the condition to:
myuser_loggedin==true

Here how I solved the issue. I installed another plugin called Shortcode Variables by YeKen. This plugin provides out of the box several pre-defined variables. I leveraged the pre-defined user-id variable and set the condition accordingly.

Here’s the condition – which in my case, if NO users are logged in, show the elementor section:

[shortcode-variables slug=”sc-user-id”]==’ ‘;

For your case, since you want to show the section only if users are actually logging in, the condition will look like this:

[shortcode-variables slug=”sc-user-id”]!=’ ‘;

@szwp Great idea. I like it. Thanks.

Hello! Can you guys please help me? i wanted to do something similar like you. I wanted to show a specific content to the certain user. I tried it like szwp showed with:
“[shortcode-variables slug=”sc-user-id”]==user_name” but for some reason it always shows false in the debug mode. ([shortcode-variables slug=”sc-user-id”]!=”” is workin if the user is logged in btw.) Do you have any idea how i could solve this?

The pre-defined variables defined in the Shortcode Variables plugin by YeKen are:

sc-username – Display the logged in username.
sc-user-id – Display the current user’s ID
sc-user-ip – Display the current user’s IP address.
sc-user-email – Display the current user’s email address.
sc-username – Display the current user’s username.
sc-first-name – Display the current user’s first name.
sc-last-name – Display the current user’s last name.
sc-display-name – Display the current user’s display name.
sc-user-agent – Display the current user’s user agent

Since you are using the [shortcode-variables slug=”sc-user-id”] you must equate it (==) to the logged in user id (assigned by wordpress) not to the user_name. Also use ’ not ” ( eg [shortcode-variables slug=”sc-user-id”]==’1‘; )

Hope this helps

I can’t get it to work. Do you have any idea?
I want to show one widget when logged in and the other one when not logged in.
But your code doesn’t work for me..
Thanks in advance!

Elementor section 1 to be displayed if user logged in
Elementor section 2 not to be displayed if user not logged in

Place this condition code [shortcode-variables slug=”sc-user-id”]!=’ ‘; in the Elementor section 1 (Edit Section -> Style -> Condition -> Write your Condition)

Place this condition code [shortcode-variables slug=”sc-user-id”]==’ ‘; in Elementor section 2 (Edit Section -> Style -> Condition -> Write your Condition)

PS make sure you have a space character between ‘ ‘.

@szwordpress
Thanks for your answer.
It still doesn’t work for me. When I did my first post I meant the code provided by @jdagan doesn’t work for me.
But now I tried it your way. I installed the plugin and then put your code into the conditions tab and it still shows the same wigdets on all devices – whether logged in or not.
It seems to me that the plugin Ele Conditions does not work at all, why ever.

I am having the same problem and would love to try your solution. I just don’t understand. Where is the condition field where you put int you code?

Thanks so much,
Kerstin
