   Hello,
   I'm trying to make an "author" page for my blog and to make things easy I want to know if is possible to get the role name, for example:

   Dennis / <role> = Dennis / Editor

   Thanks,

   Take a look at Justin Tadlock's code:

   Not sure about author pages but in a loop that would be (ugly modification below)

   $user = new WP_User( $post->post_author );
   
   if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
           foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
                   echo $role;
   }

   Once you have the $role output, you can clean it up and display Editor, Contributor, Cook, etc.
