I refactored the code to not use that, it now is:
<?php
if ( current_user_can('subscriber') ){
$subscriber = TRUE;
echo "<br><br><br><br><br><br><h1>UserID " . get_current_user_id() . " IS SUBSCRIBER</h1>";
} else {
$subscriber = FALSE;
echo "<br><br><br><br><br><br><h1>UserID " . get_current_user_id() . " IS NOT A SUBSCRIBER</h1>";
}
get_header();
?>
However, it still does not work. I added code to show the current userID in the template, and the system forgets the UserID when clicking on any of the pager/filter links.
For example, if you go to the /startups page it shows at the top:
UserID 15 IS SUBSCRIBER
but if you click the NEXT link for page 2, it then shows at the top:
UserID 0 IS NOT A SUBSCRIBER
showing that it has lost the user state (now user 0 instead of the actual User 15), causing the template to display a non-logged in results page.
It seems like there is something wrong in your ajax call where it is losing the user state for the session.
