How can I rewrite the code:

add_shortcode( 'author-role', function(){
    global $post;
    $author_id = $post->post_author;
    $author_meta = get_userdata( $author_id );
    $author_roles = $author_meta->roles;
    return $author_roles[0];
});

to run shortcode [wpv-conditional if="( '[author-role]' eq 'guest' )"] ?

Dear Bochnacki,

The "guest" isn't a logged-in wordpress user, so there should not be any posts whose author is a guest user.

If you need to check if current user is a logged-in and then display something based on that condition, please check our document:

Of course you are generally right. But I allow the purchase of posts by guests not logged in. As a result, there are a few elements that I need to assign them somehow.
Some positions I managed to "work around", but with some problems.
Well, I will be combining since there is no other solution 🙂

Thanks 🙂
