Customize [benecaster_current_tier] output
The current-tier shortcode drops a subscriber’s tier name onto a page. That is deliberately plain, and often not quite what a podcaster wants — they would rather greet the person by name, mark them as a founding supporter, or say something entirely different to a visitor who is not signed in at all.
benecaster_current_tier_output is the last thing to touch that text before it reaches the page. Handle the logged-out case deliberately: for a guest, or anyone without active access, there is no tier and no user to work with, and a callback that assumes otherwise will fail on exactly the visitors a podcaster most wants to convert.
Code
<?php
add_filter(
'benecaster_current_tier_output',
function ( string $output, int $show_id, ?string $tier_slug, ?\WP_User $user, array $atts ): string {
if ( null === $tier_slug || null === $user ) {
return $output; // guest / no token — respect the shortcode's fallback
}
return sprintf(
/* translators: 1: first name, 2: tier display name */
__( 'Welcome back, %1$s — your current tier is %2$s.', 'my-addon' ),
esc_html( $user->display_name ),
esc_html( $output )
);
},
10,
5
);
