From inside a comment Loop…
$author_data = get_user_by('login',$comment->comment_author);
if (!empty($author_data)) {
var_dump($author_data->roles);
}
$author_data->roles
is an array so you will need to work out what you want to do with that. That is, print them all? Print the highest ranking role?
if (array_intersect(array('administrator','moderator'),$author_data->roles)) {
echo 'admin';
} elseif (array_intersect(array('something','else'),$author_data->roles)) {
echo 'something else';
}
