Set the bbPress User Profile as Membership Account Page

by Kimberly Coleman | Newsletter, Plus and Unlimited Member Content, Recipes

If you’re using bbPress for your membership site, the code recipes below are designed to streamline the member’s various profile/account pages into one primary dashboard: the forum user profile (located at /forums/users/nicename).

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.

This page requires a PMPro Core Account or higher.

New Updates to the Membership Account Shortcode

by Kimberly Coleman | About PMPro, Recipes

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.

Membership Account CSS from pre-1.7 Plugin Version

by Kimberly Coleman | Recipes

Some people have asked to restore the floating, outlined boxes on the Membership Account page (many default styles were removed and simplified with the v1.7 release to give your theme defaults more control over the plugin appearance). Just place this block of code right into the Text / HTML editor of the page containing your account shortcode (pmpro_account) and you are good to go.

<style>
#pmpro_account-profile.pmpro_box {float: left; border: 1px solid #CCC; width: 45%; padding: 1%; }
#pmpro_account-links.pmpro_box {float: left; border: 1px solid #CCC; width: 45%; padding: 1%; }
#pmpro_account-invoices.pmpro_box {float: right; border: 1px solid #CCC; width: 45%; padding: 1%; }
#pmpro_account .pmpro_box h3 {border:none; background: none; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC; padding: 0 0 .5em 0; margin: 0 0 .5em 0;  }
</style>
