I can remember that there’s a piece of code so you can make (for example in sidebar.php) things (links etc.) only visible for admins, but I can’t find this code anywhere. Does anyone know how I can do this?

You mean something like testing for the user id (this assumes admin is
```
if ( $user_ID == 1) {
// user is admin
}
else {
// user is not admin
}
```

Yep, thanks! But is this also possible to do with user roles? So only a special group of users can see things?

That complicates things 😉

Take a look through this thread on how to get a user’s role:
