Members list and public profiles

The members list

Add the block Members Area: members list to a page, or use the shortcode [nopdma_members]. Options: columns (2 to 5), layout (grid or list), per_page, orderby (newest, oldest or name), role, exclude and search. Visitors can search by name and move through the pages. Example: [nopdma_members columns="4" orderby="name" per_page="24"].

The list never shows email addresses, login names, members who have not confirmed or are waiting for approval, administrators or editors, or members who left the list.

The public profile

Each card links to the member’s profile on the My profile page: cover, avatar, “Member since”, bio and the extra fields marked Public. Public profiles are not indexed by search engines. You can limit the list and the profiles to logged-in members in Settings > Members list and public profiles.

What a member can do

• Picture and cover: upload JPG, PNG or WebP (2 MB the avatar, 4 MB the cover). They are checked, resized and kept on your site. Without a picture the member shows a coloured initial: Gravatar is never used.
• About me: a bio of up to 500 characters.
• Show me in the members list and on a public profile: untick it to disappear.
• Change email: needs the current password and a link sent to the new address.
• Delete my account: with the password and a confirmation. The data is erased, including the pictures.

The new data is also covered by the WordPress personal data export and erase tools.
