One click of a button can add or a move a member to a new membership level and unlock exclusive content. Another button could remove or cancel access to a membership level when it is clicked by a member. A Member Action Button is a powerful WishList Member tool you can use to customize the experience for your members.
You can create a button to trigger a specific action when clicked. This allows for many useful scenarios like adding or removing a level. A Member Action Button can be applied to a Level or Pay Per Post which opens up even more possibilities.
The Member Action Button can also be used to apply actions to WordPress users. This is an easy way to add a WordPress user to a membership level.

Similar to Level settings, you can select if the Action Button requires admin approval or requires the user to confirm through email.
The Button Label can be set and you can select whether to Hide or Disable the button if the action cannot be performed. The button label will appear on the button on the live site and %level% will be replaced with the level name
You can select if you want to hide the button or show a disabled button with a label you set When the Action Can't Be Performed. The action cannot be performed if the action has already been applied to the logged in user (the level has already been added, or removed, etc.) and they visit the page again. The Member Action Button can either be hidden or disabled in that case.
Additional CSS Classes can be added for those who want to apply customization to the button appearance.
The bottom field containing the shortcode will adjust based on the selections made. When finished, you can simply copy the shortcode and paste it into any page or post on your site and the Action Button with your configured settings will appear.
