Display the Current User's Membership Level Name

Banner for General About Paid Memberships Pro Guide

I’ve been asked this simple question many times recently — “How do I display the current user’s membership level in my theme?” Well, here’s the very simple answer…

	if(is_user_logged_in() && function_exists('pmpro_hasMembershipLevel') && pmpro_hasMembershipLevel())
	{
	global $current_user;
	$current_user->membership_level = pmpro_getMembershipLevelForUser($current_user->ID);
	echo 'Membership Level: ' . $current_user->membership_level->name;
	}

Just paste this code wherever you want to display the current logged in user’s membership level name.

If you want to display more information about the current user, including a field generated by the Register Helper add on, or loop into another plugin such as BuddyPress to display this information on a user’s forum profile, please open a new topic on our member’s forum.
