To add the user roles to the body of your WordPress pages, you can use the body_class
hook. This hook allows you to add custom classes to the <body>
element of your pages.
Example of body_class hook to add classes to the body element
Here’s an example of how you can use this hook to add the user roles to the body of your pages:
function add_user_roles_to_body_class( $classes ) {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_roles = (array) $current_user->roles;
foreach ( $user_roles as $role ) {
$classes[] = 'role-' . $role;
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'body_class', 'add_user_roles_to_body_class' );
This code will get the current user’s roles and add a class to the body for each role. For example, if the user has the “editor” and “author” roles, the body will have the classes role-editor
and role-author
.
You can then use these classes in your CSS to style different elements differently based on the user’s role.
Note: This code should be placed in your theme’s functions.php file or in a custom plugin.

Tried theme folder functions.php file
AND wp-includes folder functions.php file
