   Is there a way to have different author pages depending on the authors role. I.e. lets say a administrator has a certain author template, a editor has a different one, subscriber a different ones again, etc etc? Or just some sort of if statement within the same template displaying certain fields if the person that authors page belongs to is of a certain role display that field?

   I found the following what I thought would do exact what I wanted but seems to do the exact opposite which I don't think it's supposed to! It shows contents by the role of whom ever is logged in and displays the logged in usernot the user on the authors page! I put this in fucntions then called it on the authors opage:

   You can use different template files for different authors: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Author_display

   hi keesiemeijer,

   thanks for the reply, but was wanting templates by user role rather then indivduly applying templates

   [deleted] was being stupid, worked it out:

   <?php $var = get_the_author_meta('user_level');
   if ($var == 1) {
   ?> <b>Ranking:</b> <?php echo cp_module_ranks_getRank($authordata->ID); ?></br>
   <?php }?>
