Site Members: Creating and Setting Up a Member Badge
2 min read
Before you begin:
To use member badges, you must install a Member's Area on your site.
Assign badges to specific site members so that they stand out from all the other members. For example, you can create a badge such as "Star Blogger" for members who contribute the most to your blog, or a badge for members who are experts in a subject, for example "Yoga Expert".
