Member profiles Free

Every member gets a home

Public profiles show a member's posts, replies, reputation, and trust level at a glance, and members manage their own profile, so your community is built on people, not anonymous usernames.

A Jetonomy member profile page showing activity, posts, replies, reputation, and trust level

The problem

In a faceless forum, members are just usernames. There is nothing to build identity or belonging around, so people lurk, post once, and never come back.

  • A public profile for every member with avatar, bio, join date, and online status
  • A stats bar showing reputation, posts, replies, and the member's trust level badge
  • Tabs for the member's posts and replies, paginated and sorted newest first
  • Drafts and bookmarks tabs visible only to the member, plus a public Votes tab
  • Members edit their own display name, bio, avatar, and notification preferences

A real identity for every member

A community is people, not handles. Jetonomy gives every member a public profile page that says who they are and what they have contributed. The header carries their avatar, display name, bio, and join date, plus an online status dot when they have been active recently. It reads like a person, not a row in a database.

Right below sits the stats bar: reputation, posts, replies, and a trust level badge. In one glance you can tell a seasoned contributor from a newcomer, which matters the moment someone reads an answer and wonders whether to trust it. Reputation and trust level travel with every member, so credibility is visible wherever they show up.

Activity members can browse and own

Profiles are not static cards. Tabs list every topic a member has published and every reply they have posted, paginated and sorted newest first, so their contribution history is browsable rather than buried. Each item links straight back to the thread it came from.

Some of that activity is private by design. Drafts and bookmarks are visible only to the member, in tabs that appear only on their own profile. A bookmark list is a personal reading queue and an unpublished draft is not ready for eyes, so members can use both freely. Votes are public, with a Votes tab on every profile.

Members run their own profile

Identity only sticks when members shape it themselves. From the edit page, a member can change their display name and bio, set notification preferences per type, and upload an avatar, with a crop tool to frame a clean square photo or a one-click revert to their Gravatar. Administrators can still edit any profile from the standard WordPress Users screen when they need to.

And you are not limited to the full profile page to surface this. A shortcode renders a compact member card, with name, trust level, bio excerpt, reputation, and post count, anywhere on your site, while another lists a space’s members ranked by reputation. Drop them on a landing or about page so visitors see real people the moment they arrive, which is exactly what turns a faceless forum into somewhere members feel they belong.

Common questions

What does a member profile show?

A header with avatar, display name, bio, join date, and an online status dot, plus a stats bar with reputation, post count, reply count, and trust level. Below that, tabs list the member's published topics and replies, paginated and sorted newest first.

Can members edit their own profiles?

Yes. Each member has an edit page where they can change their display name, bio, avatar, and notification preferences. They can upload and crop a square photo, or fall back to their Gravatar. Administrators can also edit any profile from the standard WordPress Users screen.

Is anything on a profile private?

Yes. Drafts and bookmarks are visible only to the member. Those tabs appear only when a member views their own profile, so a reading list or an unpublished draft stays private. Votes are public and show on every profile.

Can I show a profile card on another page?

Yes. A shortcode renders a compact member card with name, trust level, bio excerpt, reputation, and post count anywhere on your site. Another shortcode lists a space's members ranked by reputation, for a space landing or about page.
