Appearance Tab: Profile Menu

Overview

The Profile Menu sub-tab within the Appearance settings of Ultimate Member allows you to manage the visibility and content of the user profile menu. To access it, go to WP Admin > Ultimate Member > Settings > Appearance > Profile Menu. Enabling the profile menu will display a set of tabs, such as About, Posts, Comments, and others, within the user's profile. Disabling the menu removes these tabs, simplifying the profile layout. When enabled, options become available to further tailor the menu to your site's needs.

About Tab     

This setting allows you to enable or disable the About tab and control who can see it.

Posts Tab

This setting allows you to enable or disable the Post tab in the user's profile. When enabled it allows you to display a tab on user profiles that shows posts authored by the user.

Comments Tab

This setting allows you to enable the Comments Tab feature, you can choose who can see the Comments Tab on user profiles.

Who can see {Tab_Title} Tab?

This option becomes available when the above settings are enabled. It provides additional choices, allowing you to select who can see the About Tab, Profile Tab, or Comments Tab. These options are listed below:

  • Anyone: This makes the tab visible to all visitors, whether they are logged in or not.
  • Guest only: Only users who are not logged in (guests) can see this tab.
  • Members only: Only logged-in members of your site can see this tab.
  • Only the owner: Only the owner of the profile can see their own "About" tab.
  • Only specific roles: You can choose specific user roles that are allowed to see the "About" tab.
  • Owner and specific roles: Both the owner of the profile and users with specific roles chosen by you can see the "About" tab.

    • Note: Some profile tabs have a predefined visibility setting that cannot be changed. For example:

    • Private Messages Tab is only visible to the current user viewing their own profile.
    • Private Content Tab is visible only to the current user and the site administrator.

    Profile menu default tab

    These settings allow you to set the default tab that will be displayed first when someone visits a user's profile page, you can select from the About tab, posts tab or comments tab.

    Menu icons in the desktop view

    This option allows you to enable icons for the profile menu when the screen width is less than 800px (which is typically considered to be in a "desktop view"). This feature adds visual icons next to the menu items for better visual representation, making it easier for users to navigate the profile menu on smaller screens.
