How to display admin bar for some user role

[bikostudio]

Hi,
I have created a new user role to give it some permission to do some tasks of admin. I’m using another plugin to hide admin bar for logedin users.

how to display the admin bar for some user role?
thanks

Hi,

This code shows admin top menu bar for the role:

add_action('wp_head', 'show_top_admin_menu_bar', 100);

function show_top_admin_menu_bar() {
  if (current_user_can('some_role')) {
      show_admin_bar(true);
  }
}

Pay attention for the 100 value of a priority parameter. With this value code should be executed after that other plugin did its work.

You may add it to the functions.php file of your active theme.

I copied the functions.php to the child-theme folder then i pasted in it this code and changed the some_role to the role name at it is in user role editor plugin which is data_entry to be like this :

add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘show_top_admin_menu_bar’, 100);

function show_top_admin_menu_bar() {
if (current_user_can(‘data_entry’)) {
show_admin_bar(true);
}
}

Please check, if your child theme is really active.

I did what post said but no change .. I pasted this code to the function.php in child theme folder and the child theme is activated.

and data entry users can not access admin bar
code :

<?php

add_filter(‘woocommerce_disable_admin_bar’, ‘_wc_disable_admin_bar’, 10, 1);

function _wc_disable_admin_bar($prevent_admin_access) {
if (!current_user_can(‘data_entry’)) {
return $prevent_admin_access;
}
return ‘no’;
}

add_filter(‘woocommerce_prevent_admin_access’, ‘_wc_prevent_admin_access’, 10, 1);

function _wc_prevent_admin_access($prevent_admin_access) {
if (!current_user_can(‘data_entry’)) {
return $prevent_admin_access;
}
return false;
}

/* Start writing your functions here

Try another variant. Create .php file, open it in editor, start from <?php tag and insert there a code above, save it. Then put that file to the ‘wp-content/mu-plugins/’ folder (“must use” plugins). Will it help?

[bikostudio]

and what should i name the file?

[bikostudio]

I don’t see mu-plugins folder too

[Vladimir]

Create ‘mu-plugins’ folder. File name does not matter. WordPress executes any .php file it find in this folder.
