Why does WordPress display a user role label next to the comment author's name?
If you allow user registration on your site or run a multi-author WordPress site , user labels can introduce users to each other based on their user roles .

For example , users with the “Editor ” user role display a list of peru cell phone number badge next to their name in comments that alerts other users that the comment was written by an editor.

It builds trust with your audience and increases user engagement in comments on your website.

Many WordPress themes only highlight comments written by the post author . They do not display labels for other user roles, even if other comments are made by registered users or site administrators.
