Hi,
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
Toolset doesn't support the assignment of different WordPress Archives for authors, based on their user roles. For this, you'll need some workaround.
1. You can register a custom shortcode, that can accept the target's user role in the shortcode attribute and then return '1', if the current author on the author archive page, has that role and '0', if not:
add_shortcode('custom_author_role_check', 'custom_author_role_check_func');
function custom_author_role_check_func( $atts ) {
$data = shortcode_atts( array(
'role' => ''
), $atts );
if(!empty($data['role'])) {
$arhive_author = (get_query_var('author_name')) ? get_user_by('slug', get_query_var('author_name')) : get_userdata(get_query_var('author'));
$author_roles = $arhive_author->roles;
if (in_array($data['role'], $author_roles) ){
return '1';
} else {
return '0';
}
}
}
The above code snippet can be included through either Toolset's custom code feature ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/ ) or through the active theme's "functions.php" file.
2. Next, please add "custom_author_role_check" in the "Third-party shortcode arguments" section, at WP Admin -> Toolset -> Settings -> Front-end Content.
3. In the last step, you can include the conditional blocks in the Toolset's WordPress Archive for the authors, to show/hide different content items, based on the user role.
For example, to show some content, only if the author archive is for the role "editor", the conditional statement will look like this:
( ( '[custom_author_role_check role=editor]' eq '1' ) )
I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.
Note: To confirm if Elementor supports the assignment of user role-based author archives, it would be best to consult its official support and documentation.
regards,
Waqar
