How to have different header.php based on the user logged in?

Question

I’ve a created wordpress membership site using wishlist member plugin. But I want to have different header.php based on different logins.

Eg: Users are: Print, Web and Free

1. When Free user logs in – I want header1.php to load and stay till he logs out
2. When Print user logs in – I want header2.php to load and stay till he logs out
3. When Web user logs in – I want header3.php to load and stay till he logs out

If nobody has logged in the default header.php stays.

Please assist on how to do this.

Answer 1

You can achieve this by getting the Membership Level of the current user, and making a conditional based on this. As I do not have a license for wishlist member, this is untested.

I suppose $member_id to be the same value as the WordPress ID of the logged in User.

<?php 
    global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    $member_id = $current_user->ID;
    include('wlmapiclass.php');
    $api = new wlmapiclass('http://yourblog.com/', 'yourAPIKey');
    $api->return_format = 'php'; // <- value can also be xml or json
    $membership = $api->get( /members/{$member_id} );
    $membership = unserialize( $membership );
    print_r( $membership ); // see in which value the actual ID or slug of the membership is stored, I cannot reproduce that..
?>

As TomJNowell pointed out, it would be even better to change the include to

get_header( $membershiplevel );

So you are good to go for future Membership levels.
