Search Results for: short code

Settings

This adds a shortcode that creates a list of users on a page. It has an optional search form and prev/next navigation links. You can set your list defaults in the plugin settings. Go to the WP-Members Options and select the User List tab.

Settings

Display list as – allows you to display the list in its standard view, or as a table.
Role – determine the role of users to list. The dropdown will display all roles available, including any custom roles added.
User IDs to Exclude – A list of User IDs (numeric) to exclude from the list display.
Records per page – determines the number or users to be displayed per page.
Include search form – check this if you would like to enable and display the search box.
Local avatar – uses local avatar image instead of WP’s standard gravatar.
Avatar size – the size in pixels of the user avatar. Use a negative number for no avatar.
Heading value – the record or value to display in the H2 heading for each user.
Order by – the field to use to order the list. If you select “User Meta,” you can then select the meta to sort by. For either selection, you can sort ascending or descending.
Show labels – can show no labels, the field names, or the meta key.
Show empty – determines whether to show empty fields or not.
Profile page – if you set up a more detailed user profile page with the optional profile shortcode, select the page in this selector so the heading value can link to it.
Profile permalink – If “profile page” has selected a page for a detailed profile, this setting will allow you to choose the type of permalink used for user profiles.

Default display fields

Below the settings you will find a selection of fields to display. This will determine which fields are displayed for the user records. You can also determine which fields to use for the “search by:” list. NOTE: for best results, it is recommended that you limit search fields to text fields only. This panel is for setting your own defaults for the user list shortcode. However, you can override any of your default settings with parameters passed in the shortcode. There are several optional parameters that can be passed through the shortcode.

Handling form layout when using a builder plugin

Builder plugins (and themes that use them) such as SiteOrigin, Elegant Builder, Divi, and others, have become more popular.

Without beating a topic that has already been beat to death in the WordPress developer community, let me just say that my position on it is conflicted.

First, I generally agree with the assessment provided by Pippin Williamson:

Builders provide a poor user experience and cause significant compatibility problems for other plugins.

The other big issue is that their use violates a primary reason for using a CMS in the first place – separating content from design. Using a builder embeds design elements into the content which is a major design flaw from a CMS site management perspective.

On the other hand, I also agree with Chris Lema – builders exist because there is a market demand for them:

Why do people want WordPress Page Builders?
Simple. They offer customers a solution for personalization that mass-produced themes can’t offer, while at a lower price than working with a professional web developer and web designer.

A bigger problem than simple compatibility however, is that there is simply no industry standardization. In the WP development community, most successful plugin developers work with WP’s core standards. That makes it easier for everyone because if something isn’t initially compatible, a couple of adjustments with filter/action hooks and you’re dovetailing seamlessly.

User List

· Jan 12, 2018 ·

The WP-Members User List Extension gives you a shortcode that you can use to display lists of users on your site. Default parameters can be set in the plugin settings, but custom list parameters can be passed through the shortcode which allows you to set up multiple lists with different parameters.

NOTE: This is for the User List extension, extension support, and one year of updates. If you need WP-Members core support, choose one of the support options here.

Use jQuery to create a Log In/Log Out menu link

Chad Butler · Aug 3, 2017 ·

This simple tutorial will help you create a Log In/Log Out menu link that will display a link to the login page when the user is not logged in and a link to log out when they are logged in.

This has now been incorporated into the plugin as a standard feature – all you need to do is add a login link to the menu and give it a custom class of “wpmem_loginout”. See documentation on this feature. This tutorial remains primarily for informational and educational purposes OR if you’d simply like to customize the login/out menu item.
