Display Membership Badges Using The [pmpro_member_badges] Shortcode

Use this shortcode to display badges in posts, pages, or widgets. Example:

[pmpro_member_badges image_align="alignleft" title="My Member Badge"]

• image_align: Optional; Accepts ‘alignleft’, ‘alignright’, and ‘aligncenter’ (or any class your theme includes for images) and inherits style for these classes via your theme’s CSS.
• level_id: Optional; Show the badge for a specific level.
• size: Optional; Constrain the image’s dimensions with a single integer used for height and width.
• title: Optional; Accepts any text you would like to display as a heading before the member badge (e.g. title=”My Member Badge”). If you define the title, the badges will display using the stylized card format for other PMPro frontend elements.
• user_id: Optional; Display the badge for a specific user.

The pmpromb_show_badge() Function

You can display the member badge via the function pmpromb_show_badge(). The function has two optional parameters:

• user_id: Display a specific user ID’s member badge.
• echo: Set to ‘false’ to NOT echo the badge.
• args: An array of accepted arguments, including an optional level_id (integer) and badge size (integer)

Multi-Level Membership Support

This Add On is compatible with membership sites where members can hold one or more active membership levels. The shortcode or function will display the member badges for all active levels for the current or specified user.

Display Membership Badges in the Member Directory

To display member badges in your Directory or Profile pages, use the element name pmpro_member_badge in the elements attribute of the shortcode. For example:

[pmpro_member_directory elements="display_name;pmpro_member_badge"]

Included Member Badge Images

The plugin includes a small set of starter badges you can use royalty-free. To create your own, upload PNG, SVG, or JPG images that fit your site’s branding.

Action and Filter Hooks

apply_filters( 'pmpromb_non_member_badge', '', $user_id );

Define a custom badge image URL for users who do not have a Paid Memberships Pro level. By default, non-members do not have a badge assigned. This filter is used if you want to display a fallback badge for non-members.
