[Resolved] Check if on profile of an admin?

    Hello, how do you check if you are viewing an admin’s profile?

    I know that you can use bp_is_my_profile to check whether or not you are viewing your profile but how do I add a further check to see whether that profile is that of an administrator’s? I don’t want it to interfere with whether or not the logged in user is an admin.

    You could use something like this to add a badge to admin/verified users.

    And then check if the user has a specific badge? I guess thats an idea. Thank you.

    I think I assumed that your end goal was users knowing who the admin on the site were. I don’t know that I would use this to programmatically account for who an admin is. That said, you could probably fork this code to apply a badge based on user capability rather than something that gets manually applied.

    If I’ve read this wrong and you are just trying to sort out who an admin is, the best way to check for a role is via user capabilities (https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities). So checking to see if the users can “activate_plugins” will let you identify whether they have the admin role or not.

    Hi mrjarbenne. That’s still not exactly what I was looking for. I was just inquiring if it is possible if you can programatically check if a buddypress profile page belongs to an administrator vs. belongs to a regular user. I don’t think it was possible from what I found but its ok and I will mark as resolved because I have found a workaround for what I was doing. Thank you.

    This is possible. As @mrjarbenne said you can check the capabilities of the displayed user.

    if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) or if ( is_super_admin( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) )
