Profile Headers

In this tutorial, you will learn how to customize the layout of your member’s profile headers in the BuddyBoss Platform. You can choose to center-align or left-align the profile avatars, and set which profile elements to display or hide for additional information.

You can define the alignment of the profile headers to:

• Left

• Centered

You can choose to display the following elements on the profile headers:

• Online Status

• Profile Type

  • Available only if Profile Types and Display Profile Types are both enabled.

• Member Handle

• Joined Date

• Last Active

• Followers

  • Available only if Follow is enabled in Activity Settings

• Following

  • Available only if Follow is enabled in Activity Settings

• Social Networks

  • Available only if the ‘Social Networks’ Profile Type field is added in BuddyBoss > Profiles > Profile Fields

  • The element follows the Visibility settings of the ‘Social Networks’ Profile Type

Note: You must have the BuddyBoss Platform Pro (version 1.2.0 and higher) installed and activated on your site to unlock the new Profile Headers feature.
