Help With Code – in_array – Check for two or more items

Luís provided me with some code that works great. I want to change it so it looks for two or more user roles. I need some confirmation that I’ve made the changes correctly. I’ll paste the original code, followed by the modified code:

add_action('admin_head', 'hidepopup');

function hidepopup(){

$user = wp_get_current_user();

if ( in_array( 'contributor', (array) $user->roles ) ) {

echo '<style>

.menu-icon-inc_popup{

display: none;

}

</style>';

}

}

Modified

add_action('admin_head', 'hidepopup');

function hidepopup(){

$user = wp_get_current_user();

if ( in_array( 'contributor' || 'contributor-modified', (array) $user->roles ) ) {

echo '<style>

.menu-icon-inc_popup{

display: none;

}

</style>';

}

}

Does line 4 look correct (i.e. || ‘contributor-modified’:wink:?

Thanks for your help

    Hi Chris,

    Hope you are doing good today. :slight_smile:

    It seems like you want to check for more than one user roles, so you can try the following code:

    add_action('admin_head', 'hidepopup');
    
function hidepopup(){
    
$user = wp_get_current_user();
    

    
$roles_to_check = array( 'contributor', 'contributor-modified' );
    
$result = !empty( array_intersect( $roles_to_check,  (array) $user->roles) );
    

    
if ( $result ) {
    
echo '<style>
    
.menu-icon-inc_popup{
    
display: none;
    
}
    
</style>';
    
}
    
}

    The above code will look for user roles contributor, contributor-modified, and subscriber. You can add new roles in that array, and it should work fine.

    Please let us know if you still need any further assistance. Have a nice day. :slight_smile:

    Kind Regards,
