Dear Support,
Question how does one assign roles to a metabox? I have create some user meta boxes, but can not assign them roles in Members wordpress plugin. Would you know any role plugin which can assign roles to the user meta box.
Thank you

I have been doing more reading and it seems that i have to use "Meta Box Include Exclude" to assign user role. Is this correct or should I be using "Meta Box Conditional Logic"

Also I am so sorry for stupid questions.

Yes, you should use the extension "Meta Box Include Exclude". It supports to control the visibility of a meta box based on user role.

Dear Anh,
I must be doing something incorrect, as I can not hide the meta box i have created.

I have set the include Exclude extension to include the administrator role, but i can still see the meta box when i login as an non-administrator. Am i doing something incorrect.

The Custom Attributes is set for the following "key"=type "value"=user.

Dear Anh,

I know this is a stupid question, but how would you limit access to the user box to only administrator access? Using the MBB.

Thank you
Dave

Dear Dave,

I have tested and it works, did you installed and activated the Include/Exclude extension?

Dear Tan,

Thank you for testing it for me. Can you explain what you did you get it to work? How did you only allow admin's to see the box?

Dave.

Dear Dave,

Nothing is special here, here is my screenshot, similar with you:

After I did it, only Administrator can see the Meta Box.
