Setting Default Page Content or Page Template with the User Pages Add On

Here are two code recipes demonstrating the pmpro_user_page_purchase_postdata filter for the User Pages Add On. This add on creates a unique, private page for the member at checkout, a useful way for you to share personalized content on a per-member basis.

The recipes show how to set default post content and a page template for the created page.

Filter the Created Page’s Content

Use this recipe to adjust the content of the user page that is created. The default content of the created page is: Thank you for your purchase. This page will be updated soon with updates on your order.

	<?php
	/*
	When the user page is created, add some content.
	*/
	function my_pmpro_user_page_purchase_postdata_content($postdata, $user, $level)
	{
	//update post content
	$postdata['post_content'] = "<p>Thank you for using our site.</p>
	<p>This is some extra content for the user page.</p>
	<p>We got links:</p>
	<ul style='margin-bottom: 3em;'>
	<li><a href='" . home_url() . "'>Homepage</a></li>
	<li><a href='" . home_url("/members/") . "'>Members Area</a></li>
	<li><a href='" . home_url("/contact/") . "'>Contact Us</a></li>
	</ul>";
	return $postdata;
	}
	add_filter("pmpro_user_page_purchase_postdata", "my_pmpro_user_page_purchase_postdata_content", 10, 3);
	?>

Copy and paste this code recipe into a helper PMPro Customizations plugin. Update the $postdata['post_content'] value with your desired content.

Filter the Created Page’s Template

Use this recipe to adjust the template of the user page that is created. The default template of the created page is your theme’s “Default Layout”.

	<?php
	/*
	When the user page is created, set the page template.
	*/
	function my_pmpro_user_page_purchase_postdata_template($postdata, $user, $level)
	{
	//update page template based on level
	if($level->ID == '1')
	{
	$postdata['page_template'] = "level-1-template.php";
	}
	elseif($level->ID == '2')
	{
	$postdata['page_template'] = "level-2-template.php";
	}
	else
	{
	$postdata['page_template'] = "level-other-template.php";
	}
	return $postdata;
	}
	add_filter("pmpro_user_page_purchase_postdata", "my_pmpro_user_page_purchase_postdata_template", 10, 3);
	?>

A Note about the User Pages Add On

This add on creates a “parent” page for each member, and when a membership checkout is completed, the unique User Page for that membership level is added as a child page of the member’s page. If you would like to filter the default content of the “parent” page for the user, use the pmpro_user_page_postdata filter instead.
