FacetWP Question

[Toby]

Hi there, friends.  I'm using FacetWP, and I need to change what's displayed in the FacetWP results based on whether or not someone is logged in.  For example:

• if logged in, show foo1 and foo2
• if not logged in, show only foo1

So far, the only way I've found to do this is to force a refresh of the page like this.  It works but it's not ideal (e.g. no ajax update of the results).

Any ideas on either a code solution or an alternate way of thinking about the problem?

Thanks,
Toby

Hey Toby,

On the Listings tab in FacetWP you can click on one of your items in the Listing column, then click the Dev mode checkbox on the right side.  This allows you to write your own code and you can add some php to check if they are logged in or not before displaying results.  Does this help?

Best!

Matt

Matt, I'm using the Dev view in FacetWP, and the page loads fine on initial load.  The issue is that when I click on any of the facets, the results no longer seem to know I'm logged in. I'll upload a video and code example later tonight to show what I mean.

Ah, gotcha.  I get it.  That is outside of my wheelhouse.  Hope you get it resolved!

Here's a gist of what the code in my FacetWP dev view looks like:

<?php
if ( have_posts() ) :
  while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); 

    global $current_user;

    get_currentuserinfo();

    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { echo 'Welcome, registered user!'; } else { echo 'Welcome, visitor!'; }

  endwhile; 

endif; 

?>

The FacetWP results load fine on page refresh, however, when I select a facet, no matter what, the results think I'm not logged in (unless I do a page refresh).

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or how I might fix this?

Thanks,

Toby

Thanks, Matt & Barbara.  I finally figured out the FacetWP "am-i-logged-in?" issue!  Strangely, the solution involved editing the WP Rest API, which, aparently, FacetWP relies on.  Thankfully, the Internet saved me once again after 3 long days of troubleshooting.  The Internet: The cause of and solution to all of our problems.
