With this code you get to create a loop with EDD subscribers with the following data displayed:

• Image (avatar)
• Name

This is just an example. You can add or remove the fields you consider necessary using the function get_user_meta.

In the loop arguments you indicate:

• To get the users with the role edd_subscriber
• To be ordered taking into account the registration date 'orderby' => 'registered'
• To be ordered from oldest to newest (ASC)
• To display 10 users.

You can modify the arguments you consider necessary.

Also, at the beginning of the loop you add a conditional with the function has_active_subscription to show only the users who have an active EDD subscription.

2. Customize the subscribers list CSS

3. Add the shortcode where you want to display the subscribers loop
