   Hello,

   On my blog I am creating a directory using "members list", I also have role manager installed, and I have created a author.php page. I would like to display on the profile page:

   Your role is: <user_role>

   I was wondering if anyone know of a way that I can display the current role, either one of the default roles or 'role manager' roles on the profile page.

   Thank you, and I appreciate your help,
   Aaron

   I use this snippet in my BNS Support plugin to show the current user's role which may accomplish what you are looking for:
   

   $user_roles = $current_user->roles;
   $user_role = array_shift($user_roles);
   echo '<strong>Current User Role</strong>: ' . $user_role;

   It will only show the first role if the user has more than one assigned to them.

   Edward,
   This worked great, but I was wondering if you know how I can add this to my members list directory. I can display the wp_user_level in the list, but for some reason I can't display the wp_capabilities.

   Do you know how this can be done?

   Thanks,

   Aaron

   I would suggest looking at this page in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata

   For example

   <?php
   $user_roles = $current_user->roles;
   $user_role = array_shift($user_roles);
   
   if ($user_role == 'administrator') {
   echo 'Administrator';
   } elseif ($user_role == 'editor') {
   echo 'Editor';
   } elseif ($user_role == 'author') {
   echo 'Author';
   } elseif ($user_role == 'contributor') {
   echo 'Contributor';
   } elseif ($user_role == 'subscriber') {
   echo 'Subscriber';
   } else {
   echo '<strong>' . $user_role . '</strong>';
   }
   ?>
