"wpv-conditional" function not working correctly

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Allow content accessible to only users having "administrator" role OR display conditional content based on "Administrator" role

Solution:
You can use [wpv-conditional] shortcode or if you have installed the access plugin than you can use [toolset_access] shortcode to display conditional content based on "Administrator" role.

In the website I have a conditional statement
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info="login"]' eq 'NAME' )"] PRINT [/wpv-conditional]
It has allowed only me as administrator to see the contents and has worked since it has gone live for 3 years.
The command PRINT has appeared to all visitors twice now, the first time it was sorted after updating plugins but it has happened again and all plugins are up to date. (there is very sensitive information now available to others)
I am not sure what has gone wrong, I have had to close the site down still this is sorted.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - instead of using [wpv-conditional] shortcode here, could you please try following code:

[toolset_access role="Administrator" operator="allow"]
<a href="PAGE]"> PRINT</a> 
[/toolset_access]

Another way is:

.
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info="role"]' eq 'administrator' )"]
<a href="PAGE]"> PRINT</a> 
[/wpv-conditional]

while the toolset_access role="Administrator" code produces the print command on a separate line, it works, the revised conditional one didn't work.
Can I be sure that the Print command will not appear to guests or an author.
If I don't log out does that code still stay and allows unauthorised access

Yes - the code will be accessible to administrators only with [toolset_access] shortcode.

Well - [wpv-conditioanl] shortcode should work also.

If I don't log out does that code still stay and allows unauthorised access
==> Well - if you are loggedin as administrator and didnt logged out that means administrator user is there and eventually it will have access and its expected behavior as you are currently logged in as administrator and didnt logged out.

Will give it a go for a while and hopefully guests will not see the "PRINT" command.
