I want to make a condition based on whether the user is not logged in (he has a 'guest' role) or is logged in (his role is Subscriber or higher).
I tried to use this code but apparently it doesn't work:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info='role']' ne 'guest' )"]
User's profile displays here.
[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info='role']' eq 'guest' )"]
Registration form and login displays here.
[/wpv-conditional]

The problem with this code is that it displays the first condition either way.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

[wpv-current-user] shortcode outputs the information about the current, "logged-in" user.
https://toolset.com/documentation/views-shortcodes/#wpv-current-user

I think you should try following code:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info='role']' ne '' )"]
User's profile displays here.
[/wpv-conditional]
 
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info='role']' eq '' )"]
Registration form and login displays here.
[/wpv-conditional]

I hope this will help you to resolve your issue.
