When creating a custom user profile, the profile page is used to display the profile, and the edit page is used to edit specific profile fields.

This way, the admin doesnt have the option to edit the user profiles if its required, in front-end. The admin just doesnt have access to loggedin nor profile_by_url edit fields.

Is there a need for an additional edit page which will use the standard template=edit syntax in it? or maybe you have another solution to this? Maybe backup (edit+view) pages could be good for the plugin anyway?

Thanks!!

The default view of each user profile by admins, should have an edit profile button under the user image. Unless it has been removed by customization. With that button (maybe placed in an alternate location), the admin can always access the profile to edit it. So can the member. In my opinion, the edit “Page” is an extra, I’m not sure is needed, because all fields are available via that edit profile button. Does that help?

**SUPPORT: Please add an additional EDIT page option for USERPRO 😀

It seems that you and I are talking from different angles. There is an edit option for the admin and the user on the profile page, unless you are removing it in your customization. A page called edit, I realize will only take the admin to their own profile edit. If you are wanting to have the ability to edit the profile of members, why remove it from where it is?

Can you not just (if you don’t want that edit option on the profile page for members) make it only able to be viewed by admin? Or are you just wanting to have the ability for admin to edit user profiles on a different page altogether?

What if, the default view of a user’s profile for admin were the edit view rather than the public profile view? Would that work?

Currently I have no option to show specific contents to only admins, without displaying a message box. So its a very good suggestion from your end, we have 2 options then:

1. Display specific contents to admins only.
2. Create an additional edit page for admins.

I like your idea 1 better as it will allow additional options in the future!
Good point @CentralGeek!

Then there would not be a need for a third option for editing profiles. The admin could click on that button that is already there and the profile would switch to edit mode, and the member can use the Edit page. Does that make better sense to you?

Then, of course, from the edit page, the button to view profile could be allowed to stay, so that the member would be able to view their profile.

I would also make the suggestion that, when a member views their profile, they see it as other members can see it. That way they can verify if they have set a field to be hidden, it is in fact, hidden. Just thinking while I type here.

Regarding hidden, again, only if you use the standard template and not design your own profile page.

An admin only content restriction is required here.

EYES ONLY plugin!
Just implemented it, and it simply works!
I inserted the default edit shortcode to the standard edit page and puff its showing only to admins 😀

Its working only on the default link /profile, but not when its found in a specific user URL.

So Still need a solution from USERPRO here..
