[Resolved] Conditional 'Current user ID is equal to Author ID' not working

[Author]

I am trying to create a conditional that matches the Current logged in user ID with the post author ID, to create a post edit button. This conditional works with other post types, but does not seem to work with a specific CPT created by Toolset.

I have tried to use a block, and this short-code:
[wpv-conditional if=" ( ( '[wpv-current-user info="id"]' = '[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="ID" ]' ) ) " debug="true"]you are the post author[/wpv-conditional]

The code above does not generate a debug information, but when I try to compare static values like '1 = 1', the debug does work.

I have tried deactivating multiple plug-ins but that has not created the desired conditional nor debug info.

This does populate with the correct info:

[wpv-post-author format='meta' meta='id']
[wpv-current-user info='id']

Hi Shaun,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Can you add your conditional like this below.

[wpv-conditional if=" ( ( '[wpv-current-user info='id']' eq '[wpv-post-author format='meta' meta='ID' ]' ) ) " debug="true"]you are the post author[/wpv-conditional]

I can see some missmatching with the quotations used. Please let me know if the above works now.

Thanks,
Shane

Unfortunately it does not work on the front end nor provides debug info.

On the back-end it does provide the ID numbers, as you may see in one of the screenshots.

Hi Shaun,

Would you mind providing me with admin access to the website so that I can have a look at this for you.

Also send me a link to the page where you are experiencing the issue.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shaun,

Based on what i'm seeing there shouldn't be any reason for this conditional not to be working.

Would you mind if I grabbed a copy of your site to do some further testing locally?

Thanks,
Shane

Yes, it's strange it is not working.

Please go ahead and grab a copy.

Thank you.

Hi Shaun,

The issue seems to be coming from the content template itself.

Once I created a new content template and added the conditionals they started working without any issues at all.

Can you try doing this on your end and let me know if it works.

Create a completely new content template and start adding a few conditionals as a test.

Thanks,
Shane

My issue is resolved now. The problem lies in the additional header I added, which has a few conditionals, once I remove it all debug works...
Thank you for helping me resolve it.
