Show different sidebars based on User Login status

Last updated on by

This tip will help you in setting up different sidebars based on a user’s login status.
Follow below steps to achieve this :

a. Go to WPLMS Options panel -> Sidebar manager and create some new sidebars . Note we’ll use this sidebar for logged in user in “Course directory” page.
For our demo we created a sidebar called : “example”

b. Now, go to WP Admin -> Plugins -> Editor -> WPLMS Customizer -> customizer_class.php

c. Add the following code in _construct function :

PHP Code:
add_filter('wplms_sidebar',array($this,'custom_course_sidebar_for_loggedin_users'));

d. Add the following code in class:

PHP Code:
function custom_course_sidebar_for_loggedin_users($sidebar){
 
if(bp_is_page( BP_COURSE_SLUG )){ // Detects if we're on BuddyPress Course pages.
  if(is_user_logged_in()){ // Checks if user is logged in.
   $sidebar = 'example';
 }  }
return $sidebar;
}

e. Save file.

Now we have two sidebars for the All Course Page or course directory, one shows for non-logged in users and other shows for logged in users.
