``` * I have tried removing all the opening **** tags as directed. I have also tried including the entire code, wrapping it in close/open tags [as suggested here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-code-with-tags). * I hard-coded this into a page template and confirmed that the chat room renders and functions, but I’d much rather use a shortcode to insert it in a page. What might I be doing wrong? * Does each function need to be in a separate Content Block? And if so, how do I handle the if/else statement and content? * Thanks again for any direction anyone can provide! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/global-content-blocks/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/global-content-blocks/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Thread Starter [agreda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agreda/) * (@agreda) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-code-not-working-5/#post-5835960) * PS: I did get a simple PHP echo statement to work (without the open/close tags) but I can’t seem to figure out what’s going on with the code above. Nothing renders on the page, and no errors… :-\ * Thread Starter [agreda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agreda/) * (@agreda) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-code-not-working-5/#post-5835998) * **FYI:** The chat room renders and works fine when inserted via shortcode with block containing the following content: * `require('/home/userx/public_html/chatroom/chat.php');` * Any direction for including the if/else statement to only show it for logged in members is greatly appreciated. * Thanks again! * Thread Starter [agreda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agreda/) * (@agreda) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-code-not-working-5/#post-5836006) * **Fixed it!** Sometimes you just need to work through these things out loud, even if no one is listening. 😉 * For anyone curious, here is the conditional PHP code I used in the Content Block to render a chat room, only for logged in users… * ``` if (is_user_logged_in()) { require('/home/userx/public_html/chatroom/chat.php'); } else { echo "You must be logged in to join the chat.
