I need to make some text visible in a text widget ONLY to logged in users. I'm using this conditional code directly in a sidebar text widget, but it does not work. It does not hide the text for anonymous users.Can you help please?
`<?php if (is_user_logged_in() ) { //only logged in user can see this ?>
<div><p>Text only for logged in users</p></div>
<?php } ?> `

Hi HouseofStrauss,

In order to use php in widgets, you need to use a plugin like: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/

There is an example of is_user_logged_in on the codex which should help:
```
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    echo 'Welcome, registered user!';
} else {
    echo 'Welcome, visitor!';
}
?>
```
Regards,

Devin

Ok, thanks Devin, just wondered if the theme had removed the code filters by default. Obviously not. Thanks...

Hey HouseofStrauss,

No I don't believe so but I wasn't sure if you might have been trying it in a regular text widget or may not have had the example as a reference for correct syntax :)
