Step 4: Customize Your Member Profile

Navigate to the WordPress page for your Member Profile and click through to edit the page in the WordPress admin.

If you generated the Member Profile page, it will automatically include the following shortcode: [pmpro_member_profile]. Shortcode attributes include:

elements Attribute

The elements attribute controls what information is shown in the Member Profile and the order the information is displayed.

This attribute accepts a list of label names (optional) and values in the format label,name; (e.g., elements="avatar|256;display_name;Company,company;Website,user_url".)

Supported values for the elements attribute include:

• User Information: The user object data (stored in the WordPress Users table), including: user_login, user_email, user_url, user_registered, or display_name.
• User Meta Information: The user meta data (stored in the WordPress Usermeta table). Use the name value of any custom User Field you’ve created or of any other usermeta field available in your site.
• Membership Information: Details about the active membership, including: membership_name, membership_startdate, and membership_enddate.
• Address Information: If you are using the Mailing Address Add On, you can display the member’s address using the field ID pmpro_mailing_address. If you want to add individual fields from the mailing address, you can use:
  • pmpro_sfirstname
  • pmpro_slastname
  • pmpro_saddress1
  • pmpro_scity
  • pmpro_sstate
  • pmpro_scountry
  • pmpro_szipcode
  • pmpro_sphone
• Avatar: Show the member’s avatar and customize the size shown. e.g., elements="Profile Picture,avatar|256".

levels Attribute

The level ID or a comma-separated list of level IDs that support a Member Profile page. The member must have the specific level ID(s) to have their Member Profile displayed, otherwise the page will redirect back to the Member Directory page.

The order attribute sorts the results based on the order_by attribute in ascending or descending order. default: ASC (accepts DESC or ASC).

A boolean value of whether or not to show the map. defaults: true if the site has defined a Google Maps API Key within Advanced Settings.
