Hi there.
I want to write a quick snippet for wordpress that essentially says if the user role is equal to a certain role, then to change the logo on the website to a different logo. Are there any functions/variables you guys can recommend that I should use for this?
Thanks for your time.

<?php
if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
/* some logo */
} else {
/* other logo */
}
This article may be helpfull too: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can

Thanks for your response. I'm adding this custom code in a plugin on my wordpress site and I get this error?
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1329
Do I need to include code above it saying to reference that particular file to get the function?

<?php if (current_user_can('administrator')) : ?>
<img src="admin_logo.png">
<?php elseif (current_user_can('editor')) : ?>
<img src="editor_logo.png">
<?php else : ?>
<img src="logo.png">
<?php endif; ?>

20,816 PointsMaybe it is good to know: wp_get_current_user has been in core since 2.0.1. What version are you using?
Matt Van Dyck
2,033 Points3.9.1 :(

2,033 PointsAh thank you! Adding require_once(‘pluggable.php’); to the top of the capabilities.php file made it work. Thanks for your help Arthur and Andrew!
