Customize and match New role with new sidebar

[marthawit]

I have created 2 sidebars: mentor and parent . and two additional user roles:mentor and parent . How do i link up these user roles to these sidebars so that they can have different dashboards. ?

Okay please note the following points : 1. First install and activate the child theme (blankchild theme available in wplms package) . 2. Ignore 1st point if already using .Now copy the members directory in your child theme from the parent(main) theme . 3.  In the member's directory there is a file called dashboard.php .This file contains if else statements to check if it needs to show student or instructor sidebar on this page for current user  . Handle your user roles in this file to show their sidebars .

Each time i try to install a child theme, it distorts my website

Please is there someone in your team i can pay to do this for me urgently? I dont understand the instruction you gave. I have also tried this and it did not work <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Andale Mono', 'Monotype.com', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; vertical-align: baseline;

Okay please note the following points :
1. First install and activate the child theme (blankchild theme available in wplms package) .
2. Ignore 1st point if already using .Now copy the members directory in your child theme from the parent(main) theme .
3.  In the member's directory there is a file called dashboard.php .This file contains if else statements to check if it needs to show student or instructor sidebar on this page for current user  .
Handle your user roles in this file to show their sidebars . You have to do edit the file dashboard.php  in your child theme to show different sidebars for different user roles . like this :

$user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( in_array( 'mentor', (array) $user->roles ) ) {

//show mentor sidebar 
    $sidebar = 'mentor_sidebar';
if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')|| !dynamic_sidebar($sidebar) ) : endif; 
}
}

Please refer the attached file .find the dashboard.php file in the attached zipped file. replace it with your dashboard.php file \wp-content\themes\wplms\members\single  folder . Create user roles named "mentor" and "parent" . Create sidebars named "mentor_sidebar" and "parent_sidebar" form sidebar manager  . Thats it check the dashboards for the user roles  .
