User Summaries
The Ignition → Backers screen in wp-admin gives staff a site-wide view of pledging activity — one row per user who has pledged, with pledge totals. It requires the igcf_view_user_summaries capability, which administrators and operators hold.
The list and every figure on it follow your Live or Test view. A backer whose only pledge is to a test campaign appears in Test view, and only there.
Backers
Section titled “Backers”The Backers list at Ignition → Backers shows one row per user who has at least one pledge.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The user’s display name. A status pill marks Guest or Unverified users where applicable. |
| The user’s email address. | |
| Total Pledged | Sum of pending and succeeded pledge amounts. Canceled pledges are excluded. |
| Total Received | Money actually collected — succeeded payments minus succeeded refunds. |
| Campaigns Backed | Distinct count of campaigns the user has pledged to. |
| Last Pledge | Date of the user’s most recent pledge. |
Filter views
Section titled “Filter views”| View | What it shows |
|---|---|
| All | Every backer with at least one pledge. |
| Registered | Backers who completed registration normally. |
| Guest | Backers who pledged through the guest checkout flow without setting a password. |
| Unverified | Registered backers who have not yet verified their email address. |
Search and sort
Section titled “Search and sort”A search box at the top filters by display name, email, or username. Click any sortable column header to reorder the list. The allowed sort columns are Name, Email, Total Pledged, Total Received, Campaigns Backed, and Last Pledge.
Every total on this screen counts one side of the Live/Test divide — whichever view you are in — never both at once.
Backer detail page
Section titled “Backer detail page”Click View on any row to open the per-backer detail page. The detail page displays:
- Header — display name, email, account status (Registered / Guest / Unverified).
- Pledge totals — stat tiles for Total Pledged, Total Received (collected, net of refunds), Refunded, and Canceled, each with a tooltip explaining the figure. They cover the side you are viewing; in Test view a tile reading zero is captioned “Test view — live totals are hidden”, so it cannot be mistaken for a backer who never paid.
- Lifetime stats — first pledge date, last pledge date, and average pledge amount.
- Links — to the WordPress user-edit screen and to the admin Pledges list filtered to this backer.
Creators (add-on)
Section titled “Creators (add-on)”A matching Creators list — one row per user who has created a campaign, with campaign and fundraising totals, plus per-creator detail pages — is part of the Ignition Platform Mode add-on, since campaign creators are a platform-mode concept. It uses the same igcf_view_user_summaries capability. See The Creators list. A default install has the Backers screen only.
Where else these links appear
Section titled “Where else these links appear”When a member of staff views the wp-admin Pledges or Campaigns list, the backer-name cells link directly to the matching backer detail page. The link is shown only to users who hold the igcf_view_user_summaries capability. With Platform Mode active, author-name cells link to the corresponding creator detail page in the same way.
