Achievement ID shortcode

    I’m wanting to add individual badges to my own pages that I’ve made instead of the default, BadgeOS generated ones. To do this I need to use the following shortcode:

    [badgeos_achievement id=?]

    Is my understanding that the Achievement ID is acquired by being a Credly PRO member correct? Or am I just somehow not seeing the ID?

    Thanks!

    Achievements are essentially custom posts in WordPress, and therefore the Achievement ID is essentially the same as the WordPress post ID.

    Finding the ID of for an achievement works the same way as identifying the ID for any other post or page on WordPress.

    One way to identify the ID of an achievement is to visit the back-end of WordPress, select the achievement to edit it, and then look at the web address of the edit screen for that achievement. It will look something like:

    https://YOURSITEADDRESS.edu/wp-admin/post.php?post=3220&action=edit

    The number after the “post=” is the ID of that achievement.

    In most browsers (like Chrome), you can even see the post ID without clicking into the post. Just hover your mouse over the achievement in the list of achievements, and look in the status bar that shows up at the bottom of the browser window (as pictured here: https://d.pr/i/Xrhs ). The ID is the number following the “post=”. That should do it!

    Thanks for the help! It does work now the way it’s supposed to. Although….not the way I thought it would. ?? Is it possible in anyway to modify what/how the shortcode presents the badge? Ex. I’d like it to be bigger for one thing.

    Thanks again!
