1. Go to WordPress Dashboard > BuddyBoss > Settings > Profiles.

2. In the Member Directories section, select the view you want to enable for the Member Directories page. For example, select Grid and List for the Enabled View(s) option.

3. In the Default View option, select the default view for the Member Directories page. For example, select Grid for the Default View option. This option is only available if Grid and List view are both enabled.

4. In the Elements option, select which elements you want to display on your BuddyBoss member directories page. For example, mark the checkboxes for Online Status, Profile Type, and Last Active.

5. In the Profile Actions option, select which profile action buttons to enable. For example, mark the checkboxes for the Follow profile action.
