Hi
You can use this small code snippen to get all of the widgets IDs:
function display_widget_ids() {
global $wp_registered_widgets;
// Get the names of all active widgets
$active_widgets = get_option('sidebars_widgets');
echo '<pre>';
foreach ($active_widgets as $widget_area => $widgets) {
if (!empty($widgets)) {
echo "Widgets in '$widget_area':\n";
foreach ($widgets as $widget_id) {
echo " - $widget_id\n";
}
echo "\n";
}
}
echo '</pre>';
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'display_widget_ids');
Our filter widget should be wpc_filters_widget
Our plugin does not have any restrictions for user roles, so it can be only done by other plugins or custom functionality.

Wow. Awesome. If it worked for me. 🙁
Neither it displays widget names nor hides the widget.
Found this snipped to hide widgets for user roles:
/**
* Hide_widgets_role_based
* @author Ohad Raz <[email protected]>
*/
class Hide_widgets_role_based{
$has_selector = false;
$js_selector = '';
$roles_hide =array();
/**
* class constructor
* @author Ohad Raz <[email protected]>
* @param array $args [description]
*/
function __construct($args = array()){
if (is_admin())
add_action('widgets_init', array($this,'hide', 999));
}
/**
* the money function that hides the widgets on the admin side when the user has a specific role
* @return void
*/
public function hide(){
global $pagenow;
if ($pagenow == 'widgets.php'){
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$sperator = "";
foreach ($this->roles_hide as $role => $widgets) {
if ($this->has_role($role)){
foreach ((array)$widgets as $w_id) {
unregister_widget( $w_id );
}
}
}
}
}
/**
* add a widget to hide per role
* @param string $role role name
* @param string $widget widget id
*/
public function addHide($role,$widget){
if (is_array($widget)){
$tmp = isset($roles_hide[$role])? $roles_hide[$role]: array();
$roles_hide[$role] = array_merge($tmp, (array)$widget);
}else{
$roles_hide[$role][] = $widget;
}
}
/**
* has_role check if a user has a role
* @param int $user_id user id
* @return boolean
*/
public function has_role($user_id = null){
if ( is_numeric( $user_id ) )
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
else
$user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( empty( $user ) )
return false;
return in_array( $role, (array) $user->roles );
}
}
$widgets_hide = new Hide_widgets_role_based();
$widgets_hide->addHide('guest','wpc_filters_widget');
Hi @mailchef
We are glad to hear that the issue was resolved.

Not resolved. that’s why I said “If it worked for me :-(“
Hi @mailchef
You can use something very simple like this:
function show_widget_for_admin() {
// Check if a user is logged in
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
// Get the current user object
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
// Check if the current user has the 'administrator' role or any other needed one
if (in_array('administrator', $current_user->roles)) {
// Display the shortcode of FE widget
echo do_shortcode( '[fe_widget]' );
}
}
}
// Hook the function to a needed place for example it was hooked to the footer
add_action('wp_footer', 'show_widget_for_admin');
It will show the shortcode of the FE widget or not, depending on the user role, very simple yet effective.
