Use Paid Memberships Pro Shortcodes in Bricks Builder

Some PMPro shortcodes may not automatically render in Bricks due to their reliance on specific preheaders and template files. To ensure these shortcodes function properly, follow the steps and add the code recipe below. This will register essential PMPro shortcodes, enabling them to work within Bricks Builder.

Navigate to your PMPro Pages > Edit with Bricks
Click on Elements > add the PMPro Shortcode element.
Publish your page.
Add the following code recipe.

The Code Recipe

Customizing the Code Recipe

You can modify this recipe to support other PMPro shortcodes, including those from our Add Ons. For example, to make the [pmpro_advanced_levels] shortcode from the PMPro Advanced Levels Page Add On work in Bricks Builder, follow these steps:

Ensure the Advanced Levels Page Add On is installed and activated so the required functions are available.
Add the shortcode to the array in the existing code on line 26:
'pmpro_advanced_levels' => 'advanced-levels'
Use the Bricks “Shortcode” Element to insert [pmpro_advanced_levels] into your Bricks pages.
