Load CSS for User role subscriber (Wordpress)

Question

I'm trying load a style sheet is a user role is subscriber, what am I doing wrong:

<?php
global $current_user; 
get_currentuserinfo(); 
if ( user_can( $current_user, "subscriber" ) ){ 
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="/login/subscriber-style.css">'
} 
?>

This is in the header.php of the theme

Your code is good but your css file is under theme director then you can use like this wp_enqueue_style ('theme-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/login/subscriber-style.css'); — Nanhe Kumar, May 14 '17 at 22:17

You're using an outdated method of getting the current user role. get_currentuserinfo() was deprecated in WordPress 4.5.

Also, you shouldn't be loading CSS directly from your header.php file, you need to enqueue it instead.

Add the following code to your functions.php file.

function wpse_load_subscriber_stylesheet() {
    if ( current_user_can( 'subscriber' ) ) {
        wp_enqueue_style( 'login-subscriber-style', home_url( '/login/subscriber-style.css' ) );
    } 
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse_load_subscriber_stylesheet' );

This assumes that your CSS is placed in your web root (https://example.com/login/subscriber-style.css). If it's in your theme folder instead then you need get_template_directory_uri() . '/login/subscriber-style.css'.
