    I just setup a new WP site and purchased the S2 member plugin. However, I need robust profile pages that allow for images uploads (including profile pic), multiple text areas, etc.

    It doesn’t look like the S2 plugin will handle the profile stuff that I need because they only do basic modifications.

    Right now I’m considering making the jump to BuddyPress and using S2 with that for content restriction, but wondering if this plugin would actually cut it. I don’t need a social network, but I need some in-depth profile pages.

    Thanks!

    In that case the Pro version http://www.cozmoslabs.com/wordpress-profile-builder/ will help you because:
    – it supports avatars
    – standalone upload fields
    – Customizable User Listing (basically you can create your own HTML and just place template tags in it)

    There are a few limitations that you need to know:
    – there is no support for conditional tags or php in the User Listing
    – there are no repeater fields in Profile Builder, so building user photo galleries is not straight forward

    If you have any other questions please let me know.

    Nice, I’ll all about getting the pro version, but have a question about that – would it allow profiles to be public? Or rather, could I pull the fields from the profiles to a normal template file just like I code in ACF with the
    <?php the_field('field_name',555); ?>
    type of call in?

    Basically, I love the detailed placement of ACF fields in template files, and I just want a profile builder that allows me to then use those fields for create a public and viewable page.

    Thanks!

    Just realized this was closed, just need a quick re-open.

    Basically, I need public profile pages. Does this profile builder off that in any way, or does it just add fields to the profile page for internal use?

    If John Doe registers on my site, I want a mysite.com/john-doe page that shows his profile information.

    I want to do this without the weight of BuddyPress, but if that’s not possible, that’s what I need to know. Thanks!!!!!

    Hi,

    So yes, you can do that with Profile Builder Pro and the built in User Listing Addon.

    Here’s how we’re doing it:

    This is how it looks in the front-end:

    If you want, you can create a custom user listing using template tags, however it’s a bit more complicated because we don’t have support for custom built templates. To do it custom, you’ll need to follow this tutorial and basically build the entire user listing from scratch: http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2012/06/05/front-end-author-listing-user-search-wordpress/ (an article I wrote back in 2012, but the concept will still work).

    Hope this clears up things a bit.

    Also forgot, if you really want User Listing with template support, you can use this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-user-listing/

    It’s basically a wrap around the tutorial I linked previously and also supports templates in your theme, without having to mess around with the logic of creating user pages and shortcodes.

    Just use default WordPress functions in there to query the fields added with Profile Builder.
