# Using php in posts?

 * It is possible to use php in posts?
 * To be specific, I’m trying to display content conditionally based on whether 
   the user is logged in (logged in users see supplementary material, unlike protection
   that hides the whole post). If there is a better way of doing this than including
   php in posts, please enlighten me!
 * Thanks!

 * There might be a plugin that does what you want using shortcode [hide-this] something
   like this [/hide-this]
 * But I don’t know the name of that plugin, if it exists.
 * If you want to run PHP inside a Post, I think you need to install a plugin like
   Run PHP,

 * I figured it out, the checkbox was in a different place on the option panel. 
   Contrary to the Install instructions, the admin does not have this enabled by
   default in 2.7.
