[Resolved] displaying user roles in profile

I’m trying to get standard WP roles (subscriber, administrator, etc) to appear on the profile page next to the avatar, for each user and seen by everyone.

I’ve been searching and experimenting, but haven’t found anything that works yet.

Any suggestions for a function or maybe a snippet to put in user-details.php?

Thanks for any help.

Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

Then in that file put one of these snippets wherever you like:

-show all roles for a user
```
$user = new WP_User( bp_displayed_user_id() );

if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
	foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
		echo $role;
}
```
– show just the first role
```
$user = new WP_User( bp_displayed_user_id() );
echo $user->roles[0];
```

Thank you – works perfectly.

Question: What determines the first role in this scenario?

Thanks for any clarification.

This works great in member-header.php:

But when I insert the same code in…

\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\members.php,

right after…

<?php bp_group_member_link(); ?>

…it won’t print the role out when viewing the group member list. Any suggestion on how to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help.

This worked for showing the roles in the group member list:
