Profile
Shows a member’s profile: their photos, the fields from your Ultimate Member profile form, and their profile tabs.
Placed in navigation, it shows the signed-in member’s own profile. Opened by tapping someone in the directory or a feed, it shows theirs.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”| Plugin | Ultimate Member |
| Endpoint groups | Users, Forms, Appearance, Uploaders for photo upload |
| Plan | Every plan |
Your profile form must opt into the API — tick Show this form to REST API on it. Mark exactly one profile form visible; several visible profile forms is the cause of edits appearing to save nothing.
Add it to your app
Section titled “Add it to your app”- Drag Profile onto a navigation bar.
- Open its settings and choose the profile form.
- Set a Title.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Profile form | Which Ultimate Member form defines the fields | Your default profile form |
| Render tabs as a dropdown | A dropdown instead of a tab strip | Off |
| Title, Description | Shown at the top | Empty |
| Restrictions | Which roles see the tab | Everyone |
Turn the dropdown on when your site contributes many profile tabs. A strip of ten tabs is unusable on a phone.
What your members see
Section titled “What your members see”Cover photo, avatar, profile fields, and tabs. Members can upload, reposition and delete their own avatar and cover; the uncropped original is retained, so repositioning always works from the full image.
Tabs come from your site, including their order if you use Ultimate Member - Profile Tabs. Follower and following tabs carry live counts in their titles, and tab content paginates as the member scrolls.
Editing a profile renders your form’s fields as native controls, including conditional fields that show or hide based on another field’s value.
