I want to conditionally display some text to the author of the post being viewed but it also needs to be viewable by admins.

So far I have [wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-user]' eq 'wpv-post-author' ) OR ( ??????? )"]..[/wpv-conditional]

But I am not sure what should go in the OR section - to get 'current user is an admin'.

Many thanks for your help

Hi Chris,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To get the current user's role, you can create a custom shortcode and then compare its value in a conditional block, as explained in this reply:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
