I have this code that checks the user role and adds an image to the page based on the current logged in user browsing the page:

 global $current_user; 
 get_currentuserinfo();
 switch (true) 
 case ( user_can( $current_user, "talento_pro") ):
 echo '<i class="fa fa-bolt" title="Agência PRO+"></i>';
 break;
 case ( user_can( $current_user, "talento_pro_plus") ):
 echo '<i class="fa fa-rocket" title="Agência PRO+"></i>';
 break;

How can I reproduce the same, but instead of checking the current logged in user, it checks the role of the user who originally created the page the logged in one is browsing?

EDITED

I've tweaked the code a little bit but it isn't working, I think it's headed on the right direction?

global $authordata; 
get_the_author_meta( "user_level" = "talento_pro" );

switch (true) 
 case ( user_can( $authordata, "talento_pro") ):
 echo '<i title="Talento PRO" class="fa fa-bolt"></i>';
 break;
 case ( user_can( $author, "talento_pro_plus") ):
 echo '<i title="Talento PRO+" class="fa fa-rocket"></i>';
 break;

Thanks.

You need to change a few things:

1. You don't need both the global $authordata and get_the_author_meta. You can pick one to use.




2. The way you are trying to get the author meta is incorrect. You just need to pass user_level like get_the_author_meta( 'user_level' );

Try this:

 global $authordata;
 // This assumes that each user only has one role. You might have to adjust what array value you get
 $author_role = $authordata->roles[0];

 switch( $author_role ) 
 case 'talento_pro':
 echo '<i title="Talento PRO" class="fa fa-bolt"></i>';
 break;
 case 'talento_pro_plus':
 echo '<i title="Talento PRO+" class="fa fa-rocket"></i>';
 break;
 

This assigns the role array property to the $author_role variable so you can check against it in the switch statement.

Here's what the $authordata object looks like:

WP_User Object
(
 [data] => stdClass Object
 (
 [ID] => 25
 [user_login] => Name
 [user_pass] => hashedpassword
 [user_nicename] => name
 [user_email] => name@example.com
 [user_url] => 
 [user_registered] => 2015-03-27 00:00:00
 [user_activation_key] => 
 [user_status] => 0
 [display_name] => Name
 )

 [ID] => 25
 [caps] => Array
 (
 [author] => 1
 )

 [cap_key] => wp_capabilities
 [roles] => Array
 (
 [0] => author
 )

 [allcaps] => Array
 (
 [upload_files] => 1
 [edit_posts] => 1
 [edit_published_posts] => 1
 [publish_posts] => 1
 [read] => 1
 [level_2] => 1
 [level_1] => 1
 [level_0] => 1
 [delete_posts] => 1
 [delete_published_posts] => 1
 [edit_attachments] => 1
 [delete_attachments] => 1
 [read_others_attachments] => 1
 [edit_others_attachments] => 1
 [delete_others_attachments] => 1
 [edit_aggregator-records] => 1
 [edit_published_aggregator-records] => 1
 [delete_aggregator-records] => 1
 [delete_published_aggregator-records] => 1
 [publish_aggregator-records] => 1
 [author] => 1
 )

 [filter] => 
 [site_id:WP_User:private] => 1
)

EDIT:

If you want to use this as a function on a template:

function wp03052019_get_user_role() 
 $user_role = '';
 global $authordata;
 // This assumes that each user only has one role. You might have to adjust what array value you get
 $author_role = $authordata->roles[0];

 switch( $author_role ) 
 case 'talento_pro':
 $user_role = '<i title="Talento PRO" class="fa fa-bolt"></i>';
 break;
 case 'talento_pro_plus':
 $user_role = '<i title="Talento PRO+" class="fa fa-rocket"></i>';
 break;
 
 return $user_role;

You can then just put this in your functions.php and then call the function on any template you want this to output echo wp03052019_get_user_role();

SHORTCODE

For a shortcode version, that you can call in the content editor, use the same function as above - only adding a single argument $atts - because it's required.

function wp03052019_get_user_role( $atts ) 
 $user_role = '';
 global $authordata;
 // This assumes that each user only has one role. You might have to adjust what array value you get
 $author_role = $authordata->roles[0];

 switch( $author_role ) 
 case 'talento_pro':
 $user_role = '<i title="Talento PRO" class="fa fa-bolt"></i>';
 break;
 case 'talento_pro_plus':
 $user_role = '<i title="Talento PRO+" class="fa fa-rocket"></i>';
 break;
 
 return $user_role;
 

add_shortcode( 'userroleoutput', 'wp03052019_get_user_role'); 

Now, in your content editor, you can do [userroleoutput /]
