# Disable custom script

 * I’m using the ClickDesk system by inserting their code into my themes admin panel
   which has an option for custom code.
 * It works fine, but we want to disable the code for administrators, but nothing
   I have tried is working.
 * Here’s the code I tried without any luck.
 *     ```
       if ( !is_admin() ) {
       <!-- ClickDesk Live Chat Service for websites -->
       <script type='text/javascript'>
       etc etc etc etc
       </script>
       <!-- End of ClickDesk -->
   
       }
       ```
   
 * Thanks for any help!

 * Hi,
 * You are using the wrong function to check if the user is admin.
 * is_admin() checks if the url loaded is of backend or frontend.
    You can read 
   the is_admin() documentation here – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_admin](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_admin)
 * You need to use this function to check if the user is administrator – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can)
 * Let me know if you need more help.

 * Thank you.
 * I tried using this without success. Am I on the right path?
 *     ```
       if ( ! current_user_can('install_plugins') ) {
       Click desk code
       }
       ```

 * Ok I got it working.
 * Putting the code in the templates admin panel didn’t work, but putting it in 
   the actual .php file does. In the end here’s the code I got to work.
 *     ```
       <?php if (! current_user_can('install_plugins') ) { ?>
   
       <!-- ClickDesk Live Chat Service for websites -->
       <script type='text/javascript'>
       etc etc etc
       <!-- End of ClickDesk -->
   
       <?php } ?>
       ```
