⚙️ Key Features of BuddyPress User Badges

🪶 Custom Badges

Create unlimited badges with your own icons (PNG, JPG, or SVG). Use them to reward achievements, status, or participation — such as “Top Contributor,” “Best Teacher,” or “Sports Champion.”

📑 Multiple Badges per User

Assign one or multiple badges to each user, letting them proudly display all their achievements.

🔀 Sortable Badges

Use drag-and-drop sorting to control the order in which badges appear on user profiles. The arrangement reflects instantly on the front end.

👥 Role-Based Badges

Automatically assign badges to users based on their WordPress roles (e.g., Administrator, Author, Subscriber). You can enable or disable this per role for flexibility.

🧩 Member Type-Based Badges

If you use Member Types, assign badges to each member type — perfect for differentiating between categories such as students, teachers, or premium members.

🔄 Activate or Deactivate Badges

Easily activate or deactivate badges without deleting them — ideal for seasonal events, awards, or temporary promotions.

📍 Badge Position & Display Options

Display badges before or after usernames on the Members Directory, Group Listings, or Profile Pages. Fine-tune placement and visibility from the settings panel.

🎨 Fully Customizable Design

Upload custom icons and control the badge size, color, and style via CSS for a perfect fit with your BuddyPress theme.
