You can use the main WP_Roles object to get an array of role names/labels, e.g. $role=”author”; $label=””; // if there is no label this will be used instead if ( wp_roles()->has_role( $role ) ) { // this protects us if the role does not exist. $role_names = wp_roles()->get_names(); $label = $role_names[$role]; // Author } echo … Read more
