Badges appear next to member names on posts and profiles in Instaloops. They recognize contributions, roles, or milestones. You can create badges with a built-in icon or a custom image, assign a stage to control display priority, and remove badges when they are no longer needed.
Only community owners and admins with Manage settings permission can access this tab.

​
Create a badge

1
Open your community settings and select the Badges tab.
2
Choose Artwork: pick Icon or Image.
3
Enter a Name (up to 50 characters), for example “Founder.”
4
Set a Stage (1 to 99). Higher stages outrank lower ones when a member holds several badges.
5
If you chose Icon, select a glyph from the options. If you chose Image, paste a URL or upload a square PNG or JPG.
6
Click Add badge to save.

​
Edit or delete

  • The badge list shows all existing badges ordered by stage. Each row displays the name, stage, and whether it uses an icon or image.
  • Click the trash icon next to a badge to delete it. This removes the badge from every member who has it.
Deleting a badge cannot be undone. Members will lose that badge immediately.

​
How stages work

When a member has multiple badges, Instaloops sorts them by stage from highest to lowest. The highest-stage badge appears most prominently.

​
FAQ

Currently, badges are assigned manually by owners and admins. There is no automatic trigger based on post count or membership duration. Assign badges from the member management area.
A square image works best because badges are displayed as circular chips next to member names. PNG or JPG formats are supported. Very large files may be resized automatically.
No, you cannot edit an existing badge’s stage or artwork directly. If you need to adjust these details, delete the badge and recreate it with the new settings, then reassign it to members.
Make sure the file is a PNG or JPG and that it uploaded completely. If you pasted a URL instead, verify the link is publicly accessible and points directly to the image file.

​
Troubleshooting

The button stays greyed out until you enter a badge name. If you selected an image, you must also provide a valid image URL or complete an upload before the button becomes active.
Deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed. If you removed a badge accidentally, recreate it with the same name and stage, then reassign it to the affected members.
The preview chip shows a close approximation, but the exact size and placement may vary slightly depending on where the badge appears in the feed or on profiles.
