How can i add custom display name for user role in comments?

Hi @stellaa

I assume you want to change “Administrator” to something else – and not the name “peter”.
In the code you’ve provided, it fetches the userrole here:

$comment_user_role = $commet_user_role->roles[0];

And then it sets the first letter to capital here (ucfirst):

$this->comment_user_role = ' ' . ucfirst($comment_user_role) . '';

If you want to change the administrator role so something else – let’s say you would like it to say “Admin” instead – then I would change the code to look something like this:

/** Add User Role to Comments. */
if ( ! class_exists( 'Comment_Author_Role_Label' ) ) :
    class Comment_Author_Role_Label {
        
        public function __construct() {
            add_filter( 'get_comment_author', array( $this, 'get_comment_author_role' ), 10, 3 );
            add_filter( 'get_comment_author_link', array( $this, 'comment_author_role' ) );
        }

        function get_comment_author_role($author, $comment_id, $comment) {
            $authoremail = get_comment_author_email( $comment );

            if (email_exists($authoremail)) {
                $comment_user = get_user_by( 'email', $authoremail );
                $comment_user_role = $comment_user->roles[0];

                switch ($comment_user_role) {
                    case 'administrator':
                        $this->comment_user_role = ' Admin';
                        break;
                    default:
                        $this->comment_user_role = ' ' . ucfirst($comment_user_role);
                        break;
                }
            } else {
                $this->comment_user_role = '';
            }
            
            return $author;
        }

        function comment_author_role($author) {
            return $author .= $this->comment_user_role;
        }

    }

    new Comment_Author_Role_Label;
endif;

Please note, I’m checking if the user is an “administrator”, before changing the name to “Admin” – you should also check for “Editor”, “Author”, “Contributor” and “Subscriber”. If you ONLY want to apply a custom label for the “administrator” userrole, then you can set the “default” (in the switch case) to an empty string, like this:

default:
    $this->comment_user_role = '';
    break;

Hope this helps ??

Hi
Thank you so much , this code solved my problem.
But I want to style the ‘ Admin ‘ name, what should I do?

Like this :

@stellaa

I would suggest you look into some CSS.
If the label does not have a CSS-class, you can add it in the code above.
But from what I can see in the screenshot, you should have a different class, based on userroles.

It is , How can I style the admin?

<header class="ast-comment-meta ast-row ast-comment-author vcard capitalize">
<div class="ast-comment-cite-wrap">
<cite><b class="fn">
<a  class="url" rel="ugc">Stella</a> Admin </b> <span class="ast-highlight-text ast-cmt-post-author"></span>
</cite></div>

@stellaa

I’ve updated the code here below.
I’ve wrapped the “Admin” word in <span>-tags with a class – you should be able to play around with that.

<?php

/** Add User Role to Comments. */
if ( ! class_exists( 'Comment_Author_Role_Label' ) ) :
    class Comment_Author_Role_Label {
        
        public function __construct() {
            add_filter( 'get_comment_author', array( $this, 'get_comment_author_role' ), 10, 3 );
            add_filter( 'get_comment_author_link', array( $this, 'comment_author_role' ) );
        }

        function get_comment_author_role($author, $comment_id, $comment) {
            $authoremail = get_comment_author_email( $comment );

            if (email_exists($authoremail)) {
                $comment_user = get_user_by( 'email', $authoremail );
                $comment_user_role = $comment_user->roles[0];

                switch ($comment_user_role) {
                    case 'administrator':
                        $this->comment_user_role = ' <span class="comment-admin">Admin</span>';
                        break;
                    default:
                        $this->comment_user_role = ' ' . ucfirst($comment_user_role);
                        break;
                }
            } else {
                $this->comment_user_role = '';
            }
            
            return $author;
        }

        function comment_author_role($author) {
            return $author .= $this->comment_user_role;
        }

    }

    new Comment_Author_Role_Label;
endif;

Is that working , Thank you so musch
