Profiler Plugin
What is it?
Profiler is a WordPress plugin that allows you to display the information of every registered user on your site in a members area. Each user has their own profile which can be modified from the WordPress admin interface by either the user or an administrator. It is intended to be a "set it and forget it" plugin. You do not have to have any programming knowledge to use this plugin.
Where can I get it?
You may download Profiler here:
Profiler WordPress Plugin
How do I install it?
- Extract the folder "profiler" from the zip file and upload it to the "/wp-content/plugins/" directory
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in the WordPress admin interface
- Create a page using the form in the "Profiler" menu located under "Settings". This page will serve as your members directory
Screen shots
Known issues
- Blank directory - On some sites the directory does not list any users. I do not know why this happens.
- The directory is sorted properly, but the previous/next links do not point to the correct profiles.
- The directory will still appear if you password protect the page.
Planned Features
- Support for Register Plus, Cimy User Extra Fields, and Role Manager plugins
- Instant Messenger fields
(I haven't decided on the best way to display them)

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the response. I'm not entirely sure that is the case because in each example I am seeing the http:// in the back-end. However you helped me uncover a more serious problem in wordpress where it is not saving changes to the users profile when I edit them. Onto hours of googling and wordpress forums I go.
Dave,
This happens when the user does not put "http://" in front of the URL in their profile. Edit the couple of profiles that have this problem and put http:// in front of the URL.
For example, rawbzilla is linking to "www.fark.com". Change it to "http://www.fark.com".
I have installed the Profiler plugin and thus far has worked great. I did run into the issue of memberlist not showing up however deactivated the plugin and re-enabled and works fine again. The only issue I have ran into is bad links to subscribers websites.
One example is someone whom does not have a website will create a link like this http://www.villaintech.com/members/None
Other with webiste will occasional do this http://www.villaintech.com/members/bluedotfrog.blogspot.com
Any reason why this might occur? BTW did I mention how awesome this plugin is?
Christian,
That is the default behavior of private pages. What you are looking for is password protecting the page. I just realized that the directory still shows up, even if it is password protected. It will be fixed in the next release.
Hi Eric!
Is it possible to publish the User Profile Page in private mode? If I try this the page is not listed anymore, not to unregistered and neither to registered users. Still this page loads up if I use the direct link.
I hope you can help me! :)
Peter,
Delete the directory page in your admin panel and create another one from the Profiler options page. For example, if you named the directory "Members", find the "Members" page and delete it before trying to create another one.
You do not need to use any PHP in the page.
Alex,
I will consider adding support for this plugin if it is easy enough.
Great plugin but I noticed in the recent comments any smileys posted show up as text like :lol: . im using this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-smilies-se/ is there anyway you can make it so that the smileys show up or help me do it myself plz :P
to be honest I'm lost.
In the past I had the profiler running and it showed all the members. Today something has changed (probably I did) and it is not working anymore. But I also cannot figure out anymore how the connection is with the profiler settingform and the page who is created by the profiler settingsform. I cannot find the link between the settingsform and the page to maintain. Dont I need a a kind of php-code in my page?
Hi Eric,
This is a great plugin!
I am using this with RS Events; which i think is conflicting. When displaying list of names in a page which is in a table; the same lists appear on the sidebar where I have put RS Event widget (the table is being repeated 4 times). Also, when i click on the user profile page, the same list will also appear on the sidebar where I put the RS Event widget (repeated 4 times).
Not sure how to fix this. Can you help me? Thanks
I'm sorry, i saw that the html cant be visible so there is the code that i want allow h3; h2; i; br; b; table; size; font; img; href; so i just want simple html code and disable all javascript and css code to keep the page safe and with the same layout of original pages…
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for your answer, i appreciate that… Thanks! You're wright, maybe that will be dangerous but i want allow simple html code like And text formating and disable all css code and javascript to keep the page structure safe.
Thank you very much for your help
Isaque,
If HTML was completely allowed, your users would be able to embed any code they wanted in their profile. This could include malicious code.
I am not sure if WordPress already removes dangerous code. If it does, I will enable HTML.
What tags do you want to use? I may be able to enable some of the safer tags.
Hi,
I've installed your plugin successfuly. But, there's something that i would like to know if possible: Get html information from user bio. I've installed one plugin to process html in bio, but after that the profiler don't process the code. Can you help me?
Thanks, and i'm sorry about my english
Truly awesome plugin, Eric. I'm really looking forward to the Register Plus support… But from what little I can glean, that's indeed an awful lot of work… Better go slow. Thanks again!
kidde,
All you need to do is change the "Users per page" setting under "Directory Options" from the Profiler options page. It is set to 10 by default. Just set it to the amount you prefer and save the changes.
hi,…
could u explain how to display member list more than 10 at the page?
could i edit the code? and where is it?
I think that comments in the admin panel/dashboard is good (it's private)- especially for contributors and subscribers.
However, I'm definitely thinking of somehow adding the comments template to each profile page so that a comment roll can live on each page. This would be an easy way to make a social page like Myspace. This way people can leave comments based on the person, not just the posts.
(I'd love to have an accept friend/contact feature but haven't really found one yet. My users aren't friend roll types.) -Let me know what you think.
Layla,
That is a very good idea. I could use a person's user ID to store each set of comments.
What is your opinion on having these profile comments appear in the normal admin panel?
Hey Eric,
Thanks for looking into Register Plus & Directory Photos integration. You know one other thing that might be awesome is to have a submit comment box on each profile page, so that each profile could in a way of personal
comment sections. I'm trying to figure out another way to do this, but don't really want my members in the back end all the time.
Thanks -L
Directory photos will be included in the next version, as well as support for Register Plus. It will take a good amount of work to integrate Register Plus. Thank you for the patience.
Thanks a lot.
