Add Snippet To Project
Are you looking for a way to display a list of the groups that a user is a member of on your WordPress website? WordPress provides a powerful user management system, but displaying membership information can be a bit more challenging. However, with the right approach, you can easily retrieve and display a list of the groups a user belongs to. In this article, we will guide you through the process of displaying a list of the groups that a user is a member of on your WordPress site.
function wpturbo_display_user_groups() {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$groups = wp_get_current_user()->roles;
echo "<ul>";
foreach($groups as $group) {
echo "<li>" . $group . "</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'wpturbo_display_user_groups' );
The code snippet above demonstrates how to display a list of the groups a user is a member of on a WordPress website. This can be useful in various scenarios, such as membership sites or user management systems.
To begin, we define a function called wpturbo_display_user_groups(). This function will be responsible for fetching the user’s groups and displaying them in a list format.
Inside the function, we first retrieve the current user’s ID using the get_current_user_id() function. This function returns the ID of the currently logged-in user.
Next, we use the wp_get_current_user() function to retrieve the object representing the current user. From this object, we access the roles property, which contains an array of the user’s roles or groups.
We then proceed to create an unordered list element (<ul>) using the echo statement. This will serve as the container for the list of groups.
The next step involves looping through each group in the $groups array using a foreach loop. Within the loop, we use echo to output each group as a list item (<li>).
Finally, we close the unordered list element by adding an echo statement with the closing </ul> tag. This ensures that the list is properly formatted.
To ensure that the wpturbo_display_user_groups() function is executed and the user groups are displayed, we need to hook it into a suitable WordPress action. In this case, we are using the wp_footer action, which allows us to output content at the end of the website’s HTML markup.
By adding the line add_action( 'wp_footer', 'wpturbo_display_user_groups' );, we ensure that the wpturbo_display_user_groups() function is called when the wp_footer action is triggered.
Once implemented, you should be able to see a list of the groups the current user is a member of at the bottom of your WordPress pages.
