Bump. This is a good question.
I had the same question… can anyone help? I just want to show a link if the person is an admin, editor, or contributor. (Or, show it to everyone but subscribers.) Anyone have a suggestion?
Just to clarify, I’m really asking two questions:
1) Is it possible to use the_author outside the loop?
2) Is it possible to use one PHP function inside another?
Awesome! That worked perfectly. Thanks!
