How to edit a user's profile page & fill out empty fields

If users did not fill out all the fields in their profile, an admin or editor can edit the user's profile and complete the information of the empty fields through the User Profile page. 

To edit the profile, go to wp-admin > Users, find a user whose data you want to edit and hover your mouse over the user, then click the View profile link.

You can also find a user in the member directory on the website front side and click the user name to view the user's profile.

Once you are in the user's profile, click the gear icon ⚙ to see the profile actions menu, then click the  Edit Profile item.

You can now fill out the empty fields, edit or add information to the user's profile page. 

Click the Update Profile button to save changes.


If there are no fields in the Profile form, you can add fields via the Form Builder. Go to wp-admin > Ultimate Member > Forms > Edit to edit the Default Profile form. This article will help you on how to add fields in a form. Make sure to enter or add ALL fields that you want to display. This will allow you to view and edit these fields in profiles that you access from the "View Profile" in the "Users" section.

On the right sidebar of the Profile Form, you will see the Customize this form box. You can use this to make a specific profile(s) if needed. Do the following:

  • Apply custom settings to this form – Select Yes from the dropdown.
  • Make this profile form role-specific – Select all USER roles that apply.
  • Click the Update button to save changes.
