I am trying to:

Hide a "Create Profile" button which is a CPT, if the user/author has already created a Profile.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

This is a password protected page.

I expected to see:

Conditional code that I have found in an earlier thread that matches our exact scenario no longer seems to be valid or I have implemented incorrectly.

I used this reference in order to hide the button https://toolset.com/forums/topic/html-conditional-display-based-on-if-a-custom-post-exists/

Instead, I got:

Create Profile button still shows even if the user has already created a Profile

Hi Anthony,

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

The code suggested by Noman should still work.

Can you please share temporary admin login details for your website, so that I can log in and find the missing link?

This is the page that needs to have the create button hidden if the CPT of Player Profile exists for the signed in user.

Here is a player that has yet to create a profile, so create button should exist.

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for sharing the access details.

While the username and passwords for both player level users work, the one for the admin user doesn't.

Can you please check the username and password for the admin user and share it again, in the next reply.

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for waiting and for sharing the access details again.

I noticed that your website is using the WP Bakery builder plugin to construct the "Player" page.
( hidden link )

The conditional shortcode from the Toolset Views plugin ("wpv-conditional") cannot be used directly inside WP Bakery plugin's elements, but you can use the following workaround:

1. You can update your custom shortcode to:

function check_user_profile_exist_func( $atts, $content = null ) {
     
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    $result = new WP_Query(array(
        'author'            => $user->ID,
        'post_type'         => 'player-profile', // your CPT slug
        'post_status'       => 'publish',
        'posts_per_page'    => 1,
    ));

    if (!(count($result->posts)!=0)) {
    	return $content;
    }
     
}
add_shortcode( 'check_user_profile_exist', 'check_user_profile_exist_func' );

2. After this change, you'll be able to use this shortcode directly to show some content, only to those members who haven't created a profile yet:

[check_user_profile_exist]

<div align="center">
<a class="btn skew-btn button-nlg_center nlg-create-account btn-default btn-lg  has-icon" href="/create-player-profile/">
<span class="btn-text">Create Player Profile</span><span class="btn-icon"><i class="fa fa-user"></i></span>        </a>
</div>

[/check_user_profile_exist]

I hope this helps and please let me know how it goes.

regards,
Waqar
