In WordPress go to Plugins > Add New and search for **URWA for WooCommerce**. 2. Install and activate the plugin using the built in WordPress plugin installer. 3. Go to Appearance > Widgets. You will notice a new set of user role and status based widget areas. Drag any widget into those areas that you desire. 4. Drag the installed **WooCommerce Users by Role** display widget to the sidebar or widget area where you want your user role based widgets to appear. 5. Refresh your public site to see role based widgets and log out or log in as a different user role to see the widgets change. ### Additional Usage – Shortcode One shortcode comes installed with this plugin.

The following code will display the role based widgets that you have defined on the Appearance > Widgets page in WordPress when placed in your theme: ``` ``` ### Advanced Styling Each role based widget area gets wrapped in a unique ID allowing advanced users to individually style the widget areas. ## FAQ FAQ Q: I dragged widgets into the WooCommerce User Role Widget Areas but they are not showing up on the front end. Why? A: You must make sure that you have placed the **WooCommerce Users By Role** widget into any existing **NON-USER** widget area where you want to display specific widgets based on user roles. Q: I did the step above but the WooCommerce User Role widgets are still not showing up. A: Make sure you have at least one widget in the widget area for the role you are logged in as. For example: If you are logged in as a Shop Manager drag a text widget into the Users – WooCommerce Shop Manager widget area and give it a title and some placeholder content.
