Custom Connect Button Block for Discord adds a flexible Gutenberg block that allows users to connect or disconnect their Discord accounts from any page or post.
The block is fully customizable (text, colors, text, styles) and can display each user’s connection status, including the Discord roles they will be assigned (via the integration add-on).
Unlike shortcodes, this block supports unique design variations per page and offers a real-time preview toggle directly in the editor, so you can instantly view the exact frontend output without publishing.
Features
– Add a fully customizable “Connect to Discord” button. – Display a “Disconnect” button for already connected users. – Show assigned Discord roles dynamically. – Real-time live preview in the editor with Play/Stop toggle. – No coding required – all options are visual in the block editor.
Supported Add-ons
This block requires one of the following plugins for the actual Discord integration (authentication and role sync): – PMPro Discord Add-on – ExpressTech MemberPress Discord Add-on – Connect Ultimate Member to Discord – Connect Tutor LMS to Discord
This plugin’s source code is available on GitHub. Contributions and bug reports are welcome.
External services

Optional external call used by this plugin: – Discord CDN (https://cdn.discordapp.com/) — to display a connected user’s avatar image, if provided by the add-on. – Data sent: None. – Data retrieved: Avatar image. – When: Only when the user is already connected to Discord through a supported add-on.
