Question

I am using my functions.php to add a custom meta box on my posts page in the WordPress Admin Area. However, I need to make it so its only visible to admins, and not editors, contributors, etc.

What would I do to make it visible to admins only?

Answer 1

function your_function() {
    global $current_user;
    if($current_user->roles[0] == 'administrator') {
        add_meta_box(your parameters);
        // fill in your parameters
    }
}
add_action('admin_init','your_function');
