Rikard,

That worked great! Thanks for the tip!

Jordan,

I tried placing it my child theme’s style.css file, flushing the cache, and reloading the page. That didn’t work. Then I put the code in the quick css section, flushed the cache, and reloaded the page. This time, it did work. Do you know why?

Jordan,

I updated the credentials to match what I sent you just now. Please try it again!

Wow, thanks for the help! That solved my problem. That one’s been racking my brain for a week now.

This is the simplest example of the problem.

function welcome_user(){
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
	
	if( $current_user -> ID == 0){ //if no one is logged in, redirects to login page
		?>
		<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=index.php/login">
		<?php
	} else {
		echo'<H1>Welcome ' . $current_user -> user_firstname . '!</H1>';
	}
}

This is saved in the wp-content folder as a file named the same as the function. In the functions.php file I have:

include(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/welcome_user.php');
add_shortcode('welcome_user', 'welcome_user');

Then I added the shortcode to the page. I’ve tried both the textbox and the code block. Both work when it comes to adding the content, except that it loads the shortcodes content before it adds anything else in the avia layout builder.
