BuddyPress.org

Hello. I added the code below in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/members-loop.php, to display additional profile fields in the member directory and to display the member’s role (either ‘Subscriber’ or ‘Provider’). I only have 2 types of roles – Subscribers cannot edit posts and Providers can edit posts. In the code below, I specifically checked for the user’s role to determine whether I need to display ‘Subscriber’ or ‘Provider’.

Questions:

– is there a way to check for the capability instead – i.e., if the user can ‘edit posts’ then I will display ‘Subscriber’, otherwise I will display ‘Provider’? If so, can you please let me know how to do that as I have not been able to figure it out.

– is there a way to display a newline so that ‘Subscriber’ or ‘Provider’ will display on the next line, below the member’s title and company name. I tried to echo “\n” but it’s not outputting a newline and I have no idea why.

Thank you for the help.

$user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );

if ( $user->roles[0] == ‘subscriber’ )

echo ‘Subscriber’;

else

echo ‘Provider’;
