Settings: If Current User Is….

I notice that when I add this code:

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level1)]
Some text
[/s2If]

And then view the page through my Administrator account, I am unable to see the text for Level 1.

Is the code supposed to do that, or have I missed a setting somewhere that would enable Admin to see its restricted content?

Yes, it’s suppossed to do that, because you’re not asking if the user has access to Level 1 content, you’re asking if he’s at Level 1, which an Administrator isn’t. Try:

[[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level1) OR current_user_is(administrator)]
Some text
[/s2If]]

or

[[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some text
[/s2If]]

The latter will be shown to Level 2 users or higher too, though, because of the incremental access.

Oh, I see.

Thank you.

I’ve been reading s2Member > API Scripting > Simple / Shortcode Conditionals and want to confirm my understanding.

If I want Levels 1-4 to have access to a restricted block of text or content, and also want myself as administrator to be able to see the content on the page when viewed through my administrator account, then the code I would use is:

[s2If current_user_is(s2member_level1) OR current_user_is(s2member_level2) OR current_user_is(s2member_level3) current_user_is(s2member_level4) OR OR current_user_is(administrator)]
Some text
[/s2If]

Or is there a simpler code to accomplish that?

If I want Levels 1-4 to have access to a restricted block of text or content, and also want myself as administrator to be able to see the content on the page when viewed through my administrator account, then the code I would use is:

If you want all membership levels above a certain level (including Admin) to be able to see a certain piece of content, you can use the current_user_can() function. In this case it would look something like this:

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]
Some text
[/s2If]

Okay thank you.
