Hi guys,

Kind of an advanced question, but here goes. I need to add a bit of code that will either allow or disallow the display of the sidebar based on role. I know how to do that, so that’s not the question. 😀 The question is, would wp-sidebar.php be the most appropriate place add that code? Here’s why: the code in wp-sidebar.php is short and sweet, as follows:

<?php if ( x_get_content_layout() != ‘full-width’ ) : ?>

<aside class=”<?php x_sidebar_class(); ?>” role=”complementary”>
<?php if ( get_option( ‘ups_sidebars’ ) != array() ) : ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( apply_filters( ‘ups_sidebar’, ‘sidebar-main’ ) ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-main’ ); ?> <<<<– ADD MY CODE HERE?
<?php endif; ?>
</aside>

<?php endif; ?>

Rather than muck about in the dynamic_sidebar routine, I can add my conditional right above the call to it, which as far as I can tell, would work just fine. If there’s a better way, however, please enlighten me. 🙂

Thanks!
Chris

Hey Chris,

Yes, that is the correct place.

Thanks.

Thanks. Anyone needing to disable the sidebar on pages/posts where the user/role has to have permission can use the following. It’s in wp-sidebar.php in x/framework/views/integrity. Save the changed version of the file to x-child/framework/views/integrity.

<?php if ( x_get_content_layout() != 'full-width' ) : ?>

  <aside class="<?php x_sidebar_class(); ?>" role="complementary">
    <?php if ( get_option( 'ups_sidebars' ) != array() ) : ?>
        <?php if ( current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) : ?>
               <?php dynamic_sidebar( apply_filters( 'ups_sidebar', 'sidebar-main' ) ); ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
        <?php if ( current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) : ?>
           <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-main' ); ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
  </aside>

<?php endif; ?>
