You can now use the [pmpro_account] shortcode as a true shortcode: on other pages, in widgets, and more. This update also adds the ability to limit the appearance of the shortcode to specific sections: memberships, profile, invoices, and links.
How it Works?
The old [pmpro_account] shortcode displayed as the image below:
Now, you can add a “sections” attribute to the shortcode as below:
[pmpro_account sections="membership,profile,invoices,links"]
To customize the display, just remove sections from that list.
Some fun ways to use this new feature:
- Use it to add column-type styles by nesting with the column classes of your theme.
- Use it to hide sections entirely, for example the “Links” section if you do not need to allow members to cancel.
- Use it to display a section then use the membership shortcode between sections to show special stuff to members based on their level.
- Add a single section to a sidebar or footer widget to pull in specific membership information.
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Worked like a charm. Very slick!
Hi, I’ve never understood the Member Links feature properly. What is it that appears in Member Links? Am I able to add specific pages to the list of Member Links, e.g. “Your Downloads”? Thank you
You can via the pmpro_member_links_top or pmpro_member_links_bottom hooks. An example here:

Nice new feature..
Just a quick question about the use of this shortcode or any other shortcode. I’m still a bit new to codes and stuff.
How do I change the text that is generated by this shortcode? So if I for example I’d like to change the word Memberships in My Memberships to Products so it says My Products, how would I do that?
Thank you in advance!
There are a couple of ways. You can create your account template:

Or you can use the WP gettext filter to change text:

removing the ‘links’ attribute does not work. Even after writing the shortcode as [pmpro_account sections='membership,profile,invoices'] the links ‘Renew’ and ‘Cancel’ still show up in ‘My Memberships’.
Is anybody else having this issue?
Thanks.
The “links” block is the “Member Links” section that shows up (by default) below the invoices section. If you want to remove the links in the “account” section, open a topic on our member forums and we will help you with this customization.
just to make sure we are referring to the same links here is a screenshot of what I am looking to do. thanks

So, to be clear, the “ways to use this feature” bullet point “Use it to hide sections entirely, for example the “Links” section IF YOU DO NOT NEED MEMBERS TO CANCEL” is not actually true. It doesn’t allow you to get rid of the “Cancel” link within the Membership chunk. You can get rid of the whole Membership chunk, though.
If you don’t want users to cancel, I suggest editing the cancel page to have a description of your cancellation policy instead of the pmpro_cancel shortcode.
You can also make your own account shortcode similar to our like this https://gist.github.com/strangerstudios/6bfca3c46004fc4c30d5364aa1b43521
[…] This recipe will redirect the specified “Membership Account” page to the bbPress Profile for your member. A recipe is also included to insert the [pmpro_account] shortcode before other default content in the “Profile” tab of this page. You can use the base shortcode [pmpro_account] OR specify sections to display using the “sections” attribute of the shortcode. […]
