    I'd like to find a way to combine the WP user profile page with the member.html template.

    Our WP profile page let's users add biographical info, which we use at the end of articles, as well as photos (thanks to a plugin). Those are really the only two fields I'd like to add to members.html template.

    Has anyone combined these two things successfully?

    thank you,
    Ron

    The only thing I can think of is add custom fields to your amember profile page, create a function that will redirect them to this page for updating that biographical information, and then use shortcodes to pull it into the article template.

    User profile pages

    We've not found an easy way yet either. Getting close, but we want it to auto populate as members change, and to have easy access for each user to admin their own pages, add links etc.

    This seems like a feature that would be in demand, and I'm surprised there's no WP plugin or paid add-on product, is there? We'd even be happy with a mod inside aMember admin... Any one have any links to info, examples or ideas?

    We actually did this, but it was an UGLY hack. Our private/members area is WP and our membership db/gateway is aMember. It was a mess and made even little changes to the site a nightmare, so we aborted the change and went back to the standard WD plugin.

    If I remember right, we used the WD pages as a template and just stacked and/or added the aMember fields. A few functions like "Save Profile" were messy, but most of it was straight forward (just a ton of coding). If I had to do it all over again, I would not do it all over again, lol....
