Verified members will have a twitter-like “verified” badge displayed on the front-end, and you can choose to display an “unverified” badge for those who haven’t been verified yet.
A dedicated settings tab allows you to choose where you want to display the badges:
+ Activities
+ Profiles
+ Member Lists (e.g.: member directory)
+ BuddyPress widgets
+ Private Messages
+ bbPress Forums
+ WordPress Comments and Posts
As well as other settings like the badge color or tooltip.
This plugin is also compatible with BP Better Message

I’m working on a online community for my home town community. We are adding a classified ads section to create a safe market place – users can pay a small one off fee to cover verification, then we, as a company, can offer some accountability. Thank you for keeping this updated.
I use this plugin together with BuddyBoss and everything works great.
A simple but functional plugin.
Please do not give up on its development because it is very much needed!
Very good plugin, adds a much needed sense of “trust” between users of my dating/social site, great functionality too as it allows filtering of content between verified/unverified users, plus excellent helpful support from the developer. Definitely ten out of ten.
Useful little plugin for BuddyPress, friendly and helpful support.
This is a really good job!
Plugin is free but guys put a lot of work and heart into making everything work as it should.
Thank you so much!
