   using Members I created a new role. Now I want to show or hide certain widgets based on the WP Role. How do I do this?

   I tried if ( current_user_can( 'role' ) ) but it does not seem to work. This:
   

   <?php
   if ( current_user_can( 'energy' ) )
   echo "Yeah!" ;
   else
   echo "Nope";
   ?>

   does work in a PHP Widget only there the widget will be shown at all times, just with a different content. If I cannot use this code in Widget Logic with the Role created by Members I might have to go for simple PHP in a PHP widget. But in that case certain special widgets can no longer be used unless I add the code to the template.

   Well, I guess I just made a coding error then. As far as I understand now, all PHP will be accepted as long as it is properly coded, correct Alan?
